Abstract
Urban agglomerations (centres with gravitating settlements in the suburbs) are examples of overpopulated urban structure with almost permanent peak load. Selection of public transport is the fundamental issue in planning the expansion of the existing one, or in constructing a new form of urban public transport system. Achieving a higher level of using mass public transport can also be inspired by building intermodal terminals (e.g. bus-train/urban railways/-car). However, apart from the urban railway, funicular, bicycle subsystem and maritime transport should be included as alternative public transport modalities as well. According to the problem described in this scientific paper, the suggested model is that of integration of all forms of public passenger service with a unique organisation, unified payment collection, integrated timetable, all included into a unique information system. The results of research in this paper indicate that the first step of integration of the public passenger transportation implies founding regional transport administration.

Summary
The public transport system consists of several transport systems that satisfy the passenger transport demand to greater or lesser extent, with higher or lower level of satisfaction of the service users. The most common urban public transport systems in small or mediumsized towns consist of buses and rail transport systems. Each of those transport systems achieves its mission with a certain level of quality, transport abilities, infrastructure and superstructure, organization and cost-effectiveness. The initiative for integration of urban public transport is initiated by relevant city transporters, and county and regional transporters from the reference area of operation, if needed. The overall understanding of the urban public transport strategy should result in comprehensive urban planning which may expand, if necessary, to county (regional) integral planning, based, on scientific grounds. The objective of this research is to create a new, original model for the integration of public passenger transport service, which has no model in communal structures of other Croatian cities
