That increase presents a decision challenge for the participants of intermodal transport systems. Therefore, there is a need to analyze the factors influencing the efficiency and sustainability of intermodal transport. Thisarticle analyzesthese factors fromthe viewpoint of transport chain participants. Ten were identified. The case study of the Polish market was analyzed using a marketing research tool. Aquestionnairewas developed, and the survey was carried out among the representatives of intermodal terminals located at seaports, rail-road terminals and forwarders. On the basis of collected information,it was possible to set the ranking of the particular factors.
