The paper deals with the public transport performance, the demand for public transport, and with the relationship of the public transport to the individual motoring. Demand for public transport can be defined as secondary and it results from the customers demand for the goods and services. The paper analyses the significant factors that influence value of the passenger demand for the public transport. The passengers have a sensitive reaction to the price, the quantity and quality changes of the public transport services. Therefore, this paper presents different types of the demand elasticity in relation to the influencing factors. The article illustrates the possibilities of future estimation of demand for the public transport, too. The quality public transport services are important for the economy growth and the society development.
Within the removing barriers and improving the neighbouring relationships of the Slovak Republic and Ukraine, the research of crossing the borders was carried out. This research was focused on border points Vyšné Nemecké and Ubľa. Data for this research was collected from August 2016 to October 2016. The findings were related to the travelling aim, demographic data, time limits for crossing the Slovak-Ukrainian border, satisfaction with border guards and customs officers, as well as to the state of border crossing points Vyšné Nemecké and Ubľa. Passengers suggested the ways and the means how to accelerate border procedures that would shorten waiting time and would improve the work of border guards and custom officers. The work and activity of Slovak border guards and customs officers was positively assessed. On the other hand, the job of Ukrainian border guards and customs officers was more criticized when comparing to Slovakia. Concrete suggestions for improvement of this activity are made at the end of the study.
