Abstract

The studies on the elasticity of demand for urban public transport services have a very high theoretical and application value, proven by the fact that despite the knowledge already possessed new studies in this field are permanently undertaken worldwide. The paper presents the hitherto results of studies in the field of price elasticity of demand for public transport services. Also results of studies on price elasticity of demand have been presented, based on empirical data related to the sales of tickets for public transport services in the Upper Silesian conurbation in Poland. Moreover, the paper identifies the non-price factors that determine changes in demand for urban public transport services. The obtained results became the basis to discuss estimation limitations of demand elasticity in the urban public transport and also allowed to determine directions of further studies.
