	Services of general interest in the field of public transport are governed by an extensive system of laws, created by the European Union and national authorities. This is done on the basis of the division of competences between the Union and the Member States, pursuant to Article 4 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It is therefore possible, on the one hand, for the Union to make a positive contribution to the development of services of general interest in the field of public transport by creating uniform standards; and, on the other, for the diversity of traditions, structures and situations in the individual Member States to be preserved through the law‑making activities of the national authorities. Using the example of Poland, it may be stated that the legal system relating to the provision of services of general interest in the field of public transport consists of regulations ranging from treaty provisions, through Article 36 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and EU rules, to statutory regulations and local laws.
