Abstract
The largest cities in Europe are improving the public transport systems and primarily focuses on efficiency, safety attractiveness and number of other indicators, because such indicators have a direct impact on passenger satisfaction. The number of travels by public transport is increasing, and it will bring new challenges in the road safety. Existing public transport infrastructure in the biggest Lithuanian cities is no longer able to satisfy increasing passenger traffic volume, therefore traffic accidents involving public transport are also increasing. There is no detailed analysis of traffic accidents in Vilnius public transport subsystem, therefore all possibilities to improve safety in public transport are not exploited. The results of the study should help to identify the main causes of traffic safety accidents and prepare action plan to improve the situation in other Lithuanian cities.
