	Main purpose of the study was analysis and assess the potential and usage of public transport in nothern districts of Gdynia, in the context of prospects for the development of the Rapid City Railway. It can serve as an alternative means of public transport which can reduce traffic on currently used roads. This is particularly important issue because of the high sensitivity of the main communication routes of these districts to any traffic impediments that lead to congestion in a large area, with no alternative routes of travel and modes of transport not affected by road traffic. The article presents current state of spatial development and communication accessibility of the this districts of Gdynia, along with analysis and evaluation of the proposed solutions for extending the public railway transport to this area, as well as creating connections with the rest of the city.
