Abstract
Sustainable public transport requires finding a balance between economic and social objectives, ensuring the need for mobility without damaging environmental and health factors. At the level of the Petroșani Basin, the aim is to ensure the mobility of passengers as quickly as possible from one city to another (from east to west - Petrila, Petroșani, Aninoasa, Vulcan, Lupeni, Uricani) or from one part of the city to another, as the case may be. The study of population fluctuations by hours, on working or non-working days, per season allows the realization of a public transport that ensures the movement of people as quickly and safely as possible. The purpose of this paper is to study the way in which public transport is carried out in the Petroșani Basin, the means of transport used and the possibilities to improve this activity. In the context of sustainable mobility, the paper includes necessary aspects (transport demand, influencing factors, infrastructure) in order to conclude on the future of public transport in the Petroșani Basin.
Highlights
The mobility of goods and people is one of the essential elements of urban development, characterizing the urban space and the way it works
The decreasing trend is probable in the current conditions, so that the number of inhabitants of the Petroșani Basin will decrease by a compound annual average of 1.4%, reaching approx. 114,000 inhabitants in 2030, which is a decrease of almost 30% compared to the peak reached in 1997 [9]
In order to evaluate the demand for public passenger transport in the Petroșani Basin, the demographic and economic situation of all localities must be taken into account
Summary
The mobility of goods and people is one of the essential elements of urban development, characterizing the urban space and the way it works. The basic feature of public transport of people by regular services is that it takes place in an organized setting, on fixed routes, with walking charts and predetermined routes It must be carried out at the time of application and be organized in such a way as to ensure that the transport load is taken over, with an appropriate degree of comfort and safety, the purpose of an urban public transport system being to meet the movement requirements of the inhabitants, both in residential areas and in industrial and leisure areas. This document is both a requirement for attracting non-reimbursable funds for urban development, and a necessity and a first solution for tackling traffic-related problems in an integrated and strategic way, whether we are talking about people or goods, such as and urban, inter-county and adjacent mobility issues [5]
