Abstract
The importance of innovative design in the development of metropolitan public transport
Highlights
In the context of permanent urban congestion, with direct negative effects on life quality, the resident population tends to gradually retire to metropolitan areas, with less pollution
During the last two decades, the outskirts of Romania’s big cities have considerably grown through the building of family living spaces, the city limits merging with the ones of the neighbouring communes
The inefficiency of the public transport system can be seen in the ever-increasing number of circulating vehicles
Summary
In the context of permanent urban congestion, with direct negative effects on life quality, the resident population tends to gradually retire to metropolitan areas, with less pollution. The high values of the car traffic have great repercussions on the bus public transport system, the medium speed of buses dropping to the value of 10-11 km/h during rush hours. In these circumstances the population is discouraged in using the public means of transport, crowded and slow, preferring personal cars, fact which leads to the continuous growth of traffic values. The benefits brought by living outside big urban areas tend to be reassessed from the perspective of the time wasted during the trip to and from the working place
