Abstract
In general, the accessibility has been defined as a measure of easiness of reaching goods, services, activities, and intended destinations, which together are called the opportunities. This means that the accessibility as a measure implies existence of spatial separation of particular activities carried out daily by people. In general, the accessibility is achieved by using different (motorized) transport modes and their systems, particularly in the cases when the locations of activities (business, leisure) are relatively far from the households, in both urban and suburban areas.
