In Poland, there is observed a phenomenon of everyday commuting to work and schools from towns and cities distant up to several dozen kilometers from the metropolitan city. Often, inflexible and relatively expensive public transport causes, that own car is often used. This translates into increased traffic in the central city. An additional problem is in many cases the lack of adequate parking at the local railway station, allowing for leaving own car. The proposed solution to improve the flexibility of suburban  public transport is to use autonomous vehicles in the near future, but locally in areas surrounding railway stations. Such vehicles would not require parking, while being a mean of transport “on demand”, just like own car. An exemplary analysis for Polish communes is shown based on the Voronoi diagram, illustrating the extent of the areas from which the inhabitants commute to the local railway station.
