Abstract

Paper presents a synthetic discussion of the issues connected with public transport as an instrument of transport policies in the cities of urban agglomerations that create sustainable mobility and help achieve its goals. The theoretical investigations were supported with description of the results of empirical studies carried out by the authors. They concern the problems of using the methods of hierarchization of public transport lines and evaluation of the level of their adaptation to the customers’ needs.
