The influence of transport offer on passenger traffic in the railway transport system in a post-socialist country: case study of Poland

The study examines factors influencing the number of rail passengers in Poland. The subjects of observation were 62 cities with poviat rights. The main factors influencing demand are the number of connections and the speed of trains. Therefore, we developed an original indicator – weighted number of...
