Abstract
The sustainable development of urban mobility cannot be envisaged without a transport system which could be able to meet the needs of citizens and businesses, make a positive impact on the environment and be socially fair and economically efficient. An efficient transport system increases safety, improves network efficiency and stimulates intermodality which reduces transport impact on environment and makes cities more attractive. In order to survive and successfully operate in the market, it is necessary for public transport companies to look for and implement new management models in their system. Every organization is surrounded by the environment and it is very important to examine external factors if an organization wants to gain a strong position in the market which is also important for public transport companies. The involvement of stakeholders in the supply of public transport services i.e. what level of relationships are needed between a transportation company and its various stakeholders is necessary in order to meet the main stakeholder ‐ passenger needs. Consequently, as to supply the passenger with the best service, relationships between different stakeholders (municipality, public transport company, state road maintenance service etc.) are of vital importance. It is essential to emphasise that state institutions and municipalities play a crucial role in managing public transport companies. State institutions influence them through legal instruments and regulations and municipalities, as the main shareholders, through the impact on management board and through subsidizing the company from municipality budget. Therefore, it is very important to have in mind this particularity in managing public transport companies and in the relationships with their stakeholders.

Summary
Transport forms an essential backbone for socio-economic development but if not developed sustainably it imposes significant costs on society in terms of environmental and health impacts. Transport is one of the key sectors in urban development and in many cases it reflects the level of country’s socio-economic development In case of transport disturbances the possibilities of people communication decrease and economic losses are experienced in different activity sectors. The integrated approach involves planning processes, especially land use and transport planning. The object of research: public transport system. The goal of research: to introduce public transport services from the aspect of stakeholder relationships as a prerequisite for improving the operations of public transport companies. Qualitative research methodology was used and the descriptive method was chosen. The results were processed using the methods of statistical data analysis and presented in the textual and graphic forms. Descriptive statistics including mean percentages, mode and median, correlation coefficient and regressive analysis was applied
