University of Economics, Prague, Faculty of Management

Public transport is one of the driving forces of economic development; therefore, development and sustainability are required. In most cases, public transport operation is only possible with the help of public budgets, which in turn results in pressure from customers regarding efficiency. This article deals with the issue of public transport, especially in the Czech Republic, its sustainability and overall development. After an evaluation of the current situation for one specific case and possible future development, the author describes the basic survey conducted among passengers and outlines the possibilities for further development. The author made his basic observations and polled people who commute to work every day. In this case, the author attempts to show some basic connections and context.
