Abstract
The demand for public transport on the example of Lviv city is analyzed in the paper. The aim of the trip, the duration of the trip, vehicle occupancy rate, walking approach to the stop, and the choice of public transport mode are determined as the main impact factors. The questioning of 1100 users of public transport is carried out. During the formation of transport strategy of public transport system functioning in large cities, it is necessary to consider such factors of functioning as optimal, from the view of transport provision, location of places of work and study, trips are up to 45 min; vehicle occupation rate is up to 80% (on the most routes); the walking distance is up to 600 m; vehicles of large capacity. The provision of these indicators in transport systems will provide an opportunity to increase the effectiveness and enlarge the demand for public transport services as a result of qualitative functioning.

Summary
Criteria that have a direct impact on the choice of one or another transport mode are important from the view of the determination of transportation demand. Authors [1] review these impact criteria in the form of a hierarchical pyramid (4 levels) with the distribution of them by the primary and secondary (Fig. 1). Passengers, in modern conditions, need to know whether the services for which they pay are qualitative. The effective provision of determining the level of public transport services demands marketing research on studying and meeting all needs and wishes of consumers. The criteria of passenger transport service quality include rhythmicality, regularity, and the speed of transportation, travel safety, convenience in time of departure and arrival, compliance of the services to the demands. If passengers have negative thoughts about the given mode of transport as a consequence of dissatisfaction with the requirements, is “loses credibility” and loses the competition to the other modes of transport
