Organizational and infrastructural solutions in creating competitive advantage of sustainable urban transport – Gdańsk case study
Journal Title: Miscellanea Geographica - Regional Studies on Development - Year 2018, Vol 22, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper presents conclusions of the survey conducted in Gdańsk in October 2017. The study aimed to compare travel times between the largest residential districts in Gdańsk and the area of the business-academic center. The research was aimed at showing time losses on the commuting trips and their organizational and infrastructural causes, which lead to the extension of the actual travel time. Based on the identified time losses and their causes, recommendations regarding further organizational and investment work were presented to improve the competitiveness of public urban transport and bicycles in relation to the cars.
