Abstract

Presented paper compares transport capacities, travel times and speeds attained by underground trains and trams. The components of the journey time for public transport trips have been described. Differences in the travel time resulting from different lengths of track sections between stops are discussed. The physical and regression models for estimation of running time for trams were presented and compared. And then, new locations for tunnel tram routes in Krakow have been proposed. For tunnel sections, potential benefits for public transport passengers, which can be used in the planning analyzes of Krakow’s transport system development, were identified.
