IDENTIFICATION OF GOOD PRACTICES FOR RAILWAY SYSTEMS IN URBAN AREAS

In many urban areas railway systems have been introduced in recent years. Rapid metropolitan railway may be solution to many transport problems of modern urban agglomerations such as congestion or pollu-tion. In order to encourage people to use means of public transport such as metropolitan railway systems it is necessary to introduce solutions for its functioning which are beneficial. The paper presents a procedure of identifying such solutions – which are called good practices, in existing metropolitan railway systems. Identified solutions may be later transferred to other systems to increase the level of service.
