Abstract

Demographic change is one of main problems in the rural areas of the Central Europe region. Young and active people are moving to bigger towns and cities due to the lack of attractive opportunities and older and less educated people usually remain at the countryside. To attract economically active group of people to rural areas, appropriate public services must be offered there. Public transport offer is of high importance, since its high quality can improve quality of life, better reachability and can also attract more tourists to visit area. The European project RUMOBIL funded by Program Interreg Central Europe (Project number CE55) deals with various options for solving the problem of public transport service in the countryside.
