Public passenger transport is a type of transport service that enables the transport of passengers and is publicly accessible in a certain area. Passenger transport includes different means of transport in different transport industries and operates according to predetermined routes, schedules and prices.
The subject matter of the master's work deals with the topic of modern road and rail passenger transport in Europe, development trends and innovations, as well as the current state and possibilities for improving passenger transport in Slovenia.
Various databases such as "Web of Science", "ScienceDirect" and "Cobiss" were used in the literature review and writing of the master's thesis. The following work methods were also used: inductive-deductive method, analytical method, synthetic method, comparative method, description method, and compilation method.
The master's thesis has an introductory chapter, 3 main chapters, and a final chapter. The main chapters refer to European passenger traffic, Slovenian passenger traffic and a proposal for activities that could improve passenger traffic in Slovenia. In the European passenger transport chapter, the measurement of access to passenger transport in European cities is investigated, the characteristics of passenger transport in the best developed European countries are presented, passenger transport statistics for the road and rail industry are described, trends and innovations in passenger transport and the use of alternative fuels in passenger traffic is presented. In the Slovenian passenger transport chapter, the state of road and rail passenger transport in the country is analysed, the integrated passenger transport project is described, public passenger transport management is presented and activities that can contribute to sustainable mobility and a green future are described. In the chapter proposals for activities to improve passenger transport in Slovenia, activities are presented that I believe would help to improve public passenger transport services and increase their use among residents of all age groups.
In the master's thesis, research and auxiliary hypotheses are set up, which are confirmed in the final chapter. The research hypothesis claims that Slovenia has insufficiently developed passenger transport, while the auxiliary hypothesis claims that with the right approaches, Slovenia can establish an efficient system of public passenger transport.
