Porovnání osobní železniční dopravy v České republice a v Polsku

This thesis focuses on the issue of passenger rail transport in two selected countries – the Czech Republic and Poland. The main goal is to perform a comprehensive comparative analysis of their passenger rail transport and propose recommendations for improving the current state. The theoretical part defines the key concepts and aspects related to passenger rail transport. These include, for example, infrastructure, the organisation and financing of rail transport, tariff policy and transport services. It also includes the legislative framework of the European Union, which is essential for the development of rail passenger transport in the member states. The method of processing theoretical knowledge is a literary search of professional resources. The next practical part is aimed at examining the state of passenger rail transport in the Czech Republic and Poland. This section is based on the use of secondary data, which includes statistics on infrastructure, traffic, investment and overall transport quality. Part of the practical part is a comparative study, which makes it possible to identify the main differences and similarities between the two countries. At the end of the work, the main challenges facing passenger rail transport in both countries are identified, and a list of recommendations to improve the situation is presented.
