Abstract
Urban public transport is a system of mass transit of passengers within the range of urbanized territory within a single municipality or city. Urban public transport operates in inhabited areas, most often in cities with more than 20,000 inhabitants and is indispensable in cities with more than 40,000 inhabitants. Urban public transport varies based on the size of the city, the location of the individual facilities in that city, the lifestyles of the city’s inhabitants, the nature of the form of settlement and the size of the catchment area. Currently, there is a major problem of service failure mostly in city centres. Inappropriate conditions for the transport of persons cause congestion, and hence the time losses of all users of means of transport. For this reason, it is necessary to ensure quality, fast, safe and dynamic transport for people. There are several ways to achieve this and one is the public transport priority.
