This master's thesis analyses the state of night-time mobility in the Municipality of Ljubljana. Although often overlooked, night-time mobility plays an important role in creating inclusive, safe, and sustainable urban environments. In this thesis, quantitative and qualitative methods were employed to examine the situation and identify passengers and their travel habits. The findings revealed that night-time mobility management in Ljubljana is neglected and not incorporated into comprehensive transport planning. Passenger numbers are unevenly distributed in terms of time and space, with greater concentrations at weekends and in the city centre, where nightlife is concentrated. Due to the limited operation of public transport, passengers often rely on alternative modes of transport (e.g., cycling or taxis), which pose safety risks and represent a financial burden for certain social groups. A comparative analysis with the cities of Graz and Brno reveals that Ljubljana's primary shortcoming at night is the limited operation of public transportation. Based on these findings and good practices from abroad, we have developed proposals for improvements, including extending the operation of night-time public transport, introducing measures to ensure safer movement around the city at night, and establishing coordinated management of the city at night.
