Goal 1: improving the PT modal share in WMA

• High PT modal share in Warsaw: 68%• PT modal share in the whole WMA: 41%• The reason: less attractive PT service in

WMA:1. Poor service due to the lack of funds in the

budgets of the suburban communities2. Lack of integration: different fare systems,

lack of timetable and route coordination, too many small private companies

Goal 2: Integration of PT in WMA

• Tariff integration in WMA between local transport organized by ZTM, regional railways and private companies

• Functional integration: building PT junctions, facilitating changes, P+R

• Timetable and route integration

• Integrated PT management system

A chance for WMA: founding a Verkehrsverbund

• A joint organization of Warsaw and suburban communities based on ZTM, which would organize the PT in WMA

• Initiative of Warsaw

• Financial, legal and political barriers

• New transport law needed
