Międzygminne połączenia transportem miejskim w zespołach osadniczych poza ośrodkami wojewódzkimi w Polsce
Inter-communal connections by municipal transport in settlement complexes outside voivodeship centers in Poland

Summary/Abstract: Collective public transport is the most important public service and its organization is the main focus of cooperation in functional urban areas. So far, research on its development in Poland concerned mainly the largest cities, excluding smaller centers and their complexes. The conducted analysis is to partially fill this cognitive gap. The aim of the research was to determine the range and assessment of the level of development of local collective transport systems in settlement complexes unrelated to voivodeship centers in Poland. The answer to the question about the scope of inter-municipal cooperation in this respect in comparison to the designated FUAs and ITIes was also interesting. The 23 settlement complexes were identified outside voivodship centers in Poland, where urban transport served intercity connections. Urban transport in these complexes was serviced by a total of 141 communes, including 76 cities. They were inhabited by a total of 3,3 million people. There were a total of 28 public transport operators operating in their area, running 656 communication lines. These communes were covered with a network of connections to a different extent.
