The role of public transport in sustainable urban mobility plans

Public transport is a key element when implementing sustainable urban mobility plans due to high operating capacity compared to private car, cheapest availability to residents, and rationality by space, environment and costs. Therefore, when creating these plans, the cities try to achieve modal shift for some city trips from private car to public transport and non- motorized modes. According to the stated, public transport always needs to be made more attractive to passengers. The paper addresses the role of public transport within the sustainable urban mobility plan of the City of Sisak, firstly by examining the current state of bus lines. The results of the analysis indicate poorly equipped bus stops, outdated vehicle fleet, low vehicle occupancy and satisfactory operating speed – all this resulting in only 8 % of city trips by public transport. To improve the quality of public transport service in the City of Sisak targeting 2017 and 2030, measures were suggested. The stated measures should then serve as a base to conduct high-quality projects in public transport sector, contributing further integration with other sustainable modes of transport.
