- Abstract
The article, covering the first part of the subject of a public transport as a structural element of the metropolis, synthetically discusses existing and planned principles of public rail transport in the area of the developing Warsaw metropolis, in particular its downtown. The aim of the analysis is to collect knowledge about existing transport systems: railways of various ranks, including Szybka Kolej Miejska (Warsaw's suburban train), the underground, the trams on the background of currently dominating individual car traffic. The subject of the research will be a comparison of the situation in the area of Warsaw with the best-functioning models of transport services for the city centers in the leading European metropolises. This will help to bring down shortcomings in the independent shaping of different transport networks in the city. The discussion will present different opinions, attitudes and principles regarding the methods of communication service both for the city and its center, as well as ensuring access to activity nodes in Warsaw for external users, commuting every day from areas located within a radius of up to 100 km. around. The conclusions from the first part in this article will concern the modernization of specific transport networks, and from the next part the specific directions of repairing the inefficient and inconsistent system of the rapidly growing metropolis of the capital.
