The perspective for the research of local transport problems in the EU Member States

Abstract

The constant evolution of public transportation in European Union Member States requires a deep understanding of the needs, preferences and dynamics of the carpool. In this context, the analysis of the transport market is becoming increasingly important. Such surveys not only reflect the pulse of current mobility developments, but also provide insights into the interactions between innovation usage, customer satisfaction and pricing in public transportation. In the course of such study, qualitative and quantitative research methods can be combined in order to draw a comprehensive picture of market realities. The analysis follows the economic principle of supply and demand and aims not only to address current challenges, but also to develop future-oriented strategies for efficient and customer-oriented local public transport. The author proposes in this research note the persprctive for studying local transport problems in the EU Member States.
