The aim of the article is to show, in geographic and historical terms, the links between the life of Wincenty Pol (1807–1872) and the railways. As a witness of their development in Central Europe, and at the same time a geographer – professor at the Jagiellonian University, he saw the advantages of the new mode of transport for the economy, society and sightseeing. The paper analyses episodes from W. Pol’s biography with a reference to the stages of the process of spatial diffusion of railways in the world. An attempt was made to indicate the places and circumstances of his direct contact with railways, especially during his travels. Elements of his scientific output related to the geography of rail transport were also indicated. The research was based on his writings, including the mail, and other literature, iconographic and cartographic sources. The most important result of the analyses is a spatial reconstruction of the routes that W. Pol could have travelled by train between 1845 and 1872.

The development and optimisation of the agglomeration and regional railway system is one of the basic challenges for the regional policy of the local government in Poland. There are many studies focusing on the problems of functioning of railway transport in agglomeration areas, however there are less studies dealing with the issue of demand for railway services during the day. It is a evident research gap. The main purpose of this article is to recognize the spatial and temporal differentiation of the railway passenger volume in Wrocław. The article presents the number of passengers arriving and departing from Wroclaw according to particular directions, and identifies peak hours based on the daily distribution of passenger volume in specific time intervals.

The characteristics and analysis of the development of bike – sharing systems have been the subject of many studies in the last decade. There is a fairly widespread belief that most public bicycle systems are located in densely populated urban areas, while this innovative communication solution becomes an attractive alternative to public transport in functional urban areas hinterlands. The purpose of the study is to show the types that bike – sharing have in functional urban areas. The subject of the analysis are bike – sharing systems adopted in Poland in the period from 2008 to 2019. Particular attention was paid to the system’s function, its availability and spatial coverage. The public bicycle types were compared. Moreover, the possibilities and development directions of this mode of transport were determined. The conducted research shows the growing role of the bicycle in functional urban area’s transport. It becomes an important link in multimodal transport, connecting the city with its immediate surroundings. It is also increasingly used to connect the centre of a rural, urban, or urban-rural municipality with distant housing estates or towns.

Emission of pollutants to the environment from transport is one of the key drivers of climate change. European countries, including Poland, are trying to change their own transport policy, so that in various modes of transport a greater role is played by means partially or completely powered by electricity. Gdańsk, as a city with a coastal location and having access to a network of canals and rivers, plans to develop intra-city water tramway lines. It is planned to use modern electric or hybrid passenger ships for this purpose. The article presents the main conditions for the functioning of the existing connections inside Gdańsk. The socio-economic background and the connection of waterways with the transport network of Gdańsk were characterized. The assumptions of the new network of ferry connections were presented and their impact on the environment was analyzed. The last part of the article characterizes the potential financial, socio-economic and environmental impacts.

Known methods of forecasting the demand for goods transport are based on given time series, which are not always available. The article aims to assess the usefulness of the qualitative method of estimating the demand for cargo transport by inland waterways in seaports hinterland when historical data are unavailable. The assessed method consists of five stages and is based on a demand survey, which was carried out among cargo senders. The verification performed on the Oder Waterway example, analysing potential operations performed in inland shipping to/from seaports in Szczecin and Świnoujście, on the assumption that the Waterway has been modernized to navigability class III. Obtained research results allowed to determine the strengths and weaknesses of predicting using analysed qualitative method pointing to its usability and can be useful for seaports authorities, forwarders, transport companies and government institutions making decisions regarding the development of inland waterway infrastructure.

The purpose of the article is to discuss the essence of the phenomenon of sales seasonality on the Polish automotive market. The subject of detailed analysis is an attempt to identify the direction, level of the trend, outliers and the distribution of seasonal fluctuations in the sale of new vehicles in Poland in 2013-2018. The ARIMA-X-12 and TRAMO-SEATS procedures were used to decompose time series. The analysis uses monthly data from January 2013 to October 2018, from the Central Register of Vehicles, published in monthly reports of the Polish Automotive Industry Association. Secondary data related to the sale of new passenger vehicles (for business entities and individual users), delivery vans, trucks, buses, trailers and semitrailers as well as motorcycles and mopeds.

From the available reports and research shows that sales of new vehicles in Poland increased, with the exception of sales of motorcycles and mopeds. The authors showed that the sale of all vehicles was subject to seasonal fluctuations, which were associated with vehicle sales, closing the accounting year for commercial vehicles and seasons (motorcycles and mopeds. The authors state that the changes introduced regarding the registration of new vehicles, approvals and combustion standards were the cause of the so-called shocks on the automotive market.
