Samenvatting
The paper deals with the problems of public transport and overviews public transport policy in the EU and in the Post-socialist block as well as tendencies in the pursuit of sustainable mobility. No doubt that urban public transport nowadays will have to confront more stringent demands. This involves the mounting diversification of journey needs and the increase of demands from general public. Therefore this will affect the quality of transport and force the public transport to pursue the satisfaction of customer needs. Public transport will also have to concern itself with environmental conservation and sustainable development. For the covering abstract see ITRD E128680.
