Will a free of charge urban transport convince passengers to give up personal cars?
Journal Title: Komunikacja Publiczna - Year 2017, Vol 69, Issue 4
Abstract
For quite a few years in Europe, and in recent years especially intensively in Poland, a free of charge urban transport became the subject of a lively discussion. Digressions comprise the implementation of so-called free fare not only for the entire urban transport system within a defined area, e.g. a city, but more often they apply to a selected city part, selected lines, specified social or age groups, or distinguished times of day or selected days in a year. In the text the author analyses available domestic and foreign surveys, as well as looks at the implementation in European cities, to answer the question, is a free of charge urban transport an actual premise deciding about changing the car users’ transport preferences?
