Comparison of transport service of selected cities in the Czech Republic

This bachelor’s thesis analyses quality and availability of public transport services in two chosen regions which are Ústecký and Královehradecký kraj. Thesis has been working with just capital cities of those regions to simplify the complexity of public transportation. Both cities have analogous size and population density. They differ mostly in geographical location. While Ústí nad Labem is located in hilly terrain, Hradec Králové is located in lowland area. The thesis has analysed fields of finance, transport performance indicators, employees, and kilometers driven to evaluate quality and efficiency of public transportation in those cities. Thesis has come with some very interesting conclusion in the field of transport performance indicators, where has been strong decrease of transported people in Ústí nad Labem. In the year 2018 reached the quantity of transported people just 78 % of number of people transported in 2005. Thesis has found that despite larger range of public transportation in Ústí nad Labem, DPMHK has more effective planning of its transport links and its lines transport more people on average. Considering density of population, which is lower in Hradec Králové, DPMHK has in 2018 achieved 21 % better results than DPMÚL. Higher workloads were found among drivers in Ústí nad Labem, they drive an average of 28 158 kilometres a year. On the other hand, driver in Hradec Králové must drive 26 667 kilometres on average. Ústí nad Labem is more independent from the public finance. Their income from one transported person is 1,84 times higher than income in Hradec Králové. Both cities have reached comparable results in the effectivity of costs of transporting one person per one vehicle kilometer.
