Abstract

The paper presents a knowledge of the specificity of public transport in the municipalities of the Nitra region (NR) in 2024. At the same time, the goal is also to determine the most advantageous method of public passenger transport for specific residents of the municipalities who do not have the possibility of transportation by car. We see the importance of the study on two levels, both for the needs of the emerging integrated transport system and as part of the project base for regional development management. In most municipalities of the NR, public bus transport prevails as the most suitable mode of transport, where the value for NR in bus transport reached 64.41%. Public train transport in NR accounts for just under 11.30% and combined transport reached 23.45% in the Nitra Region. From this result, we can see that NR is significantly oriented towards public bus transport, followed by combined transport and train transport, which lags behind in most parts.
