Abstract

This article presents a study conducted in the Town of Šiauliai with a population of 100 thousand, located in the Republic of Lithuania, where the market economy has been operating for 32 years and which is a member of the European Union for 20 years. In the town, the share of commuting travels by car is significantly higher than by public transport. Since the availability of the public transport network is identified in scientific publications as one of the many criteria for choosing public transport, it was decided to conduct a study and check to what extent the availability of the public transport network determines the choice to travel by bus or car. The research hypothesizes that residents who live in neighbourhoods with worse access to bus routes and stops choose more cars than those who live in neighbourhoods with better access to public transport. The results of the study showed that residents choose to travel by bus or car regardless of the availability of the route network. It was found that the origin–destination pairs and relative proportions of those commuting to work match both those traveling by car and by bus. The results of this study may not necessarily be the same in Western European cities or towns. The main limitation of this article is that the trip matrices were compiled from population survey data, as statistical information on origin–destination pairs in Town of Šiauliai is not regularly collected.

东欧的通勤偏好:Šiauliai镇的案例研究
本文介绍了在立陶宛共和国的城镇Šiauliai进行的一项研究,该城镇拥有10万人口,市场经济已经运行了32年,并且是欧洲联盟的成员已有20年。在镇上,开车上下班的比例明显高于公共交通。由于公共交通网络的可用性在科学出版物中被确定为选择公共交通工具的众多标准之一,因此决定进行一项研究,并检查公共交通网络的可用性在多大程度上决定了选择乘坐公共汽车或汽车。该研究假设,居住在公交路线和车站较差的社区的居民比居住在公共交通便利的社区的居民选择更多的汽车。研究结果表明,无论交通网络是否通畅,居民都选择公交或自驾出行。研究发现,上下班通勤的始发目的地对和相对比例与开车和乘公交车上下班的人相当。这项研究的结果在西欧城市或城镇可能并不一定相同。本文的主要局限性在于旅行矩阵是根据人口调查数据编制的,因为Šiauliai镇的始发目的地对的统计信息没有定期收集。

期刊介绍: At present, transport is one of the key branches playing a crucial role in the development of economy. Reliable and properly organized transport services are required for a professional performance of industry, construction and agriculture. The public mood and efficiency of work also largely depend on the valuable functions of a carefully chosen transport system. A steady increase in transportation is accompanied by growing demands for a higher quality of transport services and optimum efficiency of transport performance. Currently, joint efforts taken by the transport experts and governing institutions of the country are required to develop and enhance the performance of the national transport system conducting theoretical and empirical research. TRANSPORT is an international peer-reviewed journal covering main aspects of transport and providing a source of information for the engineer and the applied scientist. The journal TRANSPORT publishes articles in the fields of: transport policy; fundamentals of the transport system; technology for carrying passengers and freight using road, railway, inland waterways, sea and air transport; technology for multimodal transportation and logistics; loading technology; roads, railways; airports, ports, transport terminals; traffic safety and environment protection; design, manufacture and exploitation of motor vehicles; pipeline transport; transport energetics; fuels, lubricants and maintenance materials; teamwork of customs and transport; transport information technologies; transport economics and management; transport standards; transport educology and history, etc.
