Abstract

The ongoing competition between bus and railway systems in the Hungarian regional passenger transport is a current problem, because these subsectors need to complement each other, instead of being in the government-funded competition. Long-term sustainability and efficiency in passenger transport require a balanced transport policy. The parallel bus and railway links, which are present in all regions of Hungary can result in competition. This research explores the solutions to this issue for long-term environmental and economic sustainability optimization. An objective index and interventions developed in previous studies have been applied here. This investigation is to validate the objective index and the interventions by using the Logit model.

Highlights

The ongoing competition between bus and railway was researched in Hungary by Farkas, Hagymási systems in the Hungarian regional passenger transport is a current problem, because these subsectors need to complement each other, instead of being in the government-funded competition
Based on some of the critical factors which include: Public transport plays a significant role in the the number of inhabitants to be served, public transpeople’s lives in Hungary, affecting the national port availability, and efficiency in time of travel for economy
The mode choice can be described by a probability model based on the spatial distribution of trips [17]

Summary

Introduction

The ongoing competition between bus and railway was researched in Hungary by Farkas, Hagymási systems in the Hungarian regional passenger transport is a current problem, because these subsectors need to complement each other, instead of being in the government-funded competition. Long-term sustainability and efficiency in passenger transport require a balanced transport policy. This research explores the solutions to this Abramović [9], Kuang et al [10], Llano et al [11], issue for long-term environmental and economic sustainability optimization. An objective index and interventions developed in previous studies have been applied here. This investigation is to validate the objective index and the interventions by using the Logit model. From the government point of view, the long-term solution would be a market-based, non-state-subsidized passenger transport service. The decree regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 of the European Parliament states that “[...] currently multiple countrywide passenger transport services meet the where:
