In each transport system are for its total costs key the fixed costs, deriving from regular deployed number of vehicles and drivers, related to the overall transport performance. Fixed, periodic and systematic linkages in the operational concept can achieve higher productivity of vehicles and personnel. Article explains the application of these techniques in the optimization of urban bus transport in the Czech town Jindřichův Hradec.

Significant part of air pollution control strategy can be achieved through measures in urban transport planning. The need for this analysis is based on the fact that transport planning decisions are often made without proper consideration of their air pollution consequences. This inevitably deteriorates air quality in urban areas, particularly in those areas which already have problem with urban air pollution. The paper deals with transport planning approach towards reducing air pollution and this approach is analyzed through short-term and long-term measures, recommended for Bitola. Implementation of these measures has a potential to contribute for improvement of the current problem with air pollution.

In the regional bus transport in the Czech Republic is currently ending a period, in which contracts with the bus carriers have been concluded directly – without a tender, before the effect of European Regulation 1370/2007. Main contractors of public transport are currently solving questions, how to define the structure of operational files in regional bus transport, so that these files were technologically functional, operationally homogeneous and that the price of transport performance in these files was economically viable. This situation requires new and innovative approach in the field of transportation technology.

The importance of transport planning in public services gradually becomes to be fully appreciated in the context of the Czech Republic. Public transport such as investment and operationally intensive industries require a guaranteed long-term strategy, not only in the field of transport infrastructure, but also in the field of transport services. The first prerequisite for successful transport planning is the most accurate description of passenger flows, including the parameters affecting the choice of transport mode. These inputs are an important basis for additional steps: the creation of a line network, timetable design, creating circulation of vehicles and courses of staff, controlling, and any requests for infrastructure improvements. At the end of this article are referred specific practical examples, where thank to a compliance with the rules of theoretical transport planning it has been achieved the increased operational efficiency of public passenger rail-transport.
