Abstract
The importance of the issue of an effective mode of passenger transport is currently increasing. On the one hand there is an increasing economic demand for public passenger transport, on the other hand, there is a growing traffic share of individual automobile transport. The aim of this article is to define the importance of public passenger transport and to identify the problems of its operation. The integration of different modes of public passenger transport is proposed as a way to increase the competitiveness of public passenger transport. This paper analyses the individual elements of integration systems abroad and suggests the methodology of integration system applicable in regions where the share of public passenger transport is decreasing within the transport market.

Summary
EU transport strategy prefers the transport of passengers by public passenger transport to the individual transport because the use of public passenger transport results in meeting all the goals of the EU strategy in the field of road safety. Based on the above considerations it has been concluded that the strategic objectives of the EU transport policy are achieved when population uses the public passenger transport. In this regard it has to be noted that it is necessary to support the public passenger transport and its competitiveness in relation to the individual automobile transport [2]. The increase of individual automobile transport causes other problems such as decreasing road safety, increasing air pollution, traffic noise and global warming [6 - 7] While providers of public passenger transport operate only the key areas and places in certain territories, the car users benefit from a high quality of transportation in terms of availability and time.
