The aim of this paper is to present the different approaches to demonopolisation used in Polish and European urban public transport, compare the efficiency of these models which have proven popular in Poland as well as to estimate the total losses incurred due to the high monopolisation of Polish public transport. The methodology of the research is based on econometric modelling (Stochastic Frontier Analysis) and on a survey conducted by the author among Public Transport Authorities. The author proves that the modern London model (competition for the market) is more efficient in Polish conditions than the classic German one (communal monopoly). The very popular in Poland combination of the two above formulas – the co-existence of a Public Transport Authority with a monopolistic publicly owned operator – is surprisingly the least efficient. Total losses due to the existence of monopolies in Polish urban bus transport are estimated for the year 2007 at the level of 10-14% of its total budget (ca. 117-149 m EURO/year). In some cities, the losses can be as high as 20-25% of the total remuneration to the public bus operator. In others, public monopolists can be as efficient as private operators in the competitive model.

Le but de cet article est de présenter les approches différentes vers la demonopolisation du transport en commun urbain polonais et européen, comparer l’efficacité de ces modèles, populaires en Pologne, aussi qu’estimer les pertes totales résultant de la monopolisation du transport en commun en Pologne. La méthode de l’analyse est fondée sur la modélisation économétrique (Stochastic Frontier Analysis) et sur l’enquête réalisée par l’auteur parmi les autorités responsable de transport. L’auteur prouve que le modèle moderne de Londres (concurrence pour le marche) est plus efficace dans les conditions polonaises que le modèle allemand (monopole communal). La combinaison de deux modèles, très populaire en Pologne, reposant sur la coexistence d’une autorité responsable de transport avec un opérateur publique, est une solution la moindre efficace.

The article provides an overview of the national and local government roles in shaping sustainable mobility. It first discusses main directions of the European Union policies in the field of mobility. At the national level, barriers to the development of mobility determined by the current legal order are defined. At the level of local governments, key measures are identified that allow more effective management of mobility. The summary includes recommendations for solutions that would contribute to a more sustainable development of mobility in Polish agglomerations.
