The thesis analyses public passenger transport and traffic flows in the Goriška cross-border region, where, despite spatial and functional connectivity, the national border almost completely separates the two transport systems. Spatial analyses are used to present both the broader regional and the narrower local contexts for potential improvements to public passenger transport, supplemented by case studies. In the area of the Vrtojba/Štandrež border crossing, one of the proposed solutions for improving the connectivity of public passenger transport systems on both sides of the border is the development of an intermodal transport hub combining rail, bus and private car transport. The proposed solution represents a single hub or connecting point for the entire Goriška cross-border region, as well as the wider area.
