Abstract

Increasing problems resulting from the growing mobility and travel elongation of the suburban area inhabitants force to search for solutions that would help sustainable transport development. The process of sustainable development supports integration of various transport modes. The case study of the integration of public transport modes operating within the Krakow agglomeration area can be presented as an example of a good practice for integration of rail with bus systems. The article presents solutions applied in the field of railway connection integration with bus lines. It also presents the degree of the use of bus lines in integration with the railway connection.
