PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN RURAL AREAS – STUDIES CONCLUSIONS

Abstract

The paper assumed that public transport is more often financed in the multifunctional rural areas than in typical agricultural communities. The authors have tried to explain whether public transport in urban areas is regressive or the number of communities financing this service is increasing. Own studies show that number of rural communities financing public transport has increased between 2001 and 2016. In spite of all, there are large spatial differentiations across the country. Comparatively high percentage of inhabitants of typical agricultural areas do not have possibility to use public transport. Need to organize this service was pointed relatively often in those communities.
