Flexible Transportation of Passengers and Combined Mobility

Abstract

The paper describes the importance and the role of the subsystem of flexible transportation of passengers (paratransit) in the system of a public city transportation of passengers (PCTP). It is a system with several forms and can be defined by several parameters, but in large number of cities in the world it gains more importance in the PCTP system. This paper describes this system with its characteristics, i.e. its positive characteristics that lead to increased combined mobility of population in cities in the PCTP system, i.e. to decreased use of passenger cars.
