TY - JOUR TI - Assessment of transport system of a suburban commune on the example of Konopiska (Częstochowa county) AU - Przeniosło, Gabriela AU - Taczanowski, Jakub TI - Assessment of transport system of a suburban commune on the example of Konopiska (Częstochowa county) AB - The aim of the paper has been to assess the transport system of the commune (Polish: gmina) of Konopiska (Śląskie voivodeship, southern Poland). As the area which has been analysed is located in the metropolitan area of the city of Częstochowa increasing suburbanization processes can be observed there. They result in constant increase in the number of inhabitants of the commune which is a challenge for its transport system. That is why the road network and public transport system in particular should be modernised and developed. Apart from the main line from Konopiska village to the city of Częstochowa the existing bus network is not well developed and does not provide an attractive alternative to private car. The solutions suggested by the authors of the present article include the development of the bus system with lines also connecting periphery villages and bus stop modification in order to increase the accessibility to public transport. Another proposal  is a new bus line to the nearest railway station VL - 2017 IS - 20 (3) PY - 2017 SN - 1426-5915 C1 - 2543-859X SP - 31 EP - 43 DO - 10.4467/2543859XPKG.17.014.7488 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/pkgkptg/article/ocena-systemu-transportowego-gminy-suburbialnej-na-przykladzie-konopisk-powiat-czestochowski KW - local transport system KW - public transport KW - suburbanisation KW - metropolitan area KW - suburban community
