PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN THE SUSTAINABLE URBAN TRANSPORT POLICY

This paper deals with the problems of public transport and gives an overview of public transport policy in the European Union (EU) and in the post-socialist bloc, as well as tendencies in the pursuit of sustainable mobility. No doubt that urban public transport today is forced to confront more stringent demands. This involves the mounting diversification of journey needs and the increase of demands from the general public. Therefore, this will affect the quality of transport and force the public transport entities to pursue the satisfaction of customer needs. Public transport will also have to concern itself with environmental conservation and sustainable development.
