- Abstract
The purpose of this article is to determine the competitiveness of different means of transport operating in the Metropolis of Upper Silesia and Zagłębie (Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolia; GZM). The paper assumed the evaluation of competitiveness in economic terms by comparing the time and cost of travel by public transport (bus, trolleybus, tram, train), private/commercial transport services (taxi) and private means of transport (car, bicycle) during rush hours as well as off-peak hours. The study was comprehensive, i.e., transport connections in all GZM member communes were verified. The results showed that although there are many possibilities to travel from GZM member cities to Katowice, public transport, while remaining cheaper than commuting by car, is usually slower. It should be emphasized, however, that the distance was calculated from the central points in cities, so the travel time by public transport in the suburbs may be much longer than by car. In addition, it has been proven that optimisation of routes in GZM is necessary, but travelling by car with more than one person is also an effective way of getting around, as it reduces the negative impact on the environment.
