Abstract
The manuscript applied multi-criteria analysis using several indicators to evaluate 18 transport companies established on the level of the Czech statutory towns during period of 2001–2016 that provided for a mass commuting system. Transport companies were chosen for evaluation in the towns being company establishers in the area of mass commuting systems. Based on the prepared analysis outcomes, we suppose that transport companies in big Czech cities and towns using combination of various transport means within the mass commuting system reached lower effectiveness. The Transport Company of the Czech capital city Prague only one operates subway, i.e., it works with specific requirements laid on assurance of this public transport type. Nevertheless, its inclusion in the analysis didn’t affect total results, thus we are able to work with a complete group of transport companies in the Czech Republic when evaluating their economic effectiveness.

Summary
Transportation has been a driving force of progress of all nations. Currently people cannot imagine life without transportation, transport means, and sufficient transport infrastructure. Public transport can be characterized as purposely and controlled movement of various transport means on the rails and roads, aimed at ensuring services for population in the delimited territory. Transport infrastructure has had significant spatial and investment demands, including specified requirements in the area of situation of roads and equipment that is inevitable for proper transportation functioning. Transport mainly represents a service that is practically as old as mankind. It has developed since the primitive transport of loads up to current relatively comfortable and fast transport of persons and loads. Transportation is not a part of the production sector, but mankind has been depending on its perfect function for centuries and it represents a condition of the social development, living standards, and quality of the population
