Improving the management of public transport in Lithuania’s major cities in the context of sustainable mobility and multimodality

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the problems of passenger transport management in the context of sustainable mobility and multimodality in major Lithuanian cities. The urban transport system, development, and problem areas in meeting consumer needs are discussed. The article also discusses the ways to promote the use of public transport services in sustainable mobility and multimodality by solving the problem areas of passenger transport management. The article analyses the attitude of residents of major Lithuanian cities towards the importance of sustainable mobility and multimodality. The factors that determine the decision of the inhabitants of the major Lithuanian cities to use sustainable mobility and multimodality are presented, and ways to improve the quality in this area are considered. A quantitative method is applied to study the previously described attitudes and confirm the hypothesis that there are specific management difficulties related to sustainable mobility and multimodality. According to the study, most residents of Vilnius and other major cities do not combine public transport with other modes. Only less than one-third of survey participants combine multiple modes of transport on their trips. Implementing public transport management solutions in the context of sustainable mobility and multimodality should become a model.
