“…Municipalities also actively engage in promoting public transport, e.g., via providing Free Fare Public Transport (FFPT) [75,76] and taking organisational measures to favour public transport, such as e.g., dedicated lanes for buses, trams, or light rail [77,78] or designating Low Emission Zones (LEZs) [79,80] and Zero Emission Zones (ZEZs) in city centres [81]. Research studies show that significant positive changes regarding environ-mental protection in urbanised areas may also be provided by ecodriving [82][83][84][85] as well as appropriate organisation and multimodal integration of passenger transport, including the special role to be played by rail transport [86,87].…”

This paper focuses on effects of implementing zero-emission buses in public transport fleets in urban areas in the context of electromobility assumptions. It fills the literature gap in the area of research on the impact of the energy mix of a given country on the issues raised in this article. The main purpose of this paper is to identify and analyse economic effects of implementing zero-emission buses in public transport in cities. The research area was the city of Szczecin, Poland. The research study was completed using the following research methods: literature review, document analysis (legal acts and internal documents), case study, ratio analysis, and comparative analysis of selected variants (investment variant and base variant). The conducted research study has shown that economic benefits resulting from implementing zero-emission buses in an urban transport fleet are limited by the current energy mix structure of the given country. An unfavourable energy mix may lead to increased emissions of SO2 and CO2 resulting from operation of this kind of vehicle. Therefore, achieving full effects in the field of electromobility in the given country depends on taking concurrent actions in order to diversify the power generation sources, and in particular on increasing the share of Renewable Energy Sources (RES).

“…Many studies have been conducted to the optimise passenger routes and networks; four passenger transport types have been investigated in these studies: integrated, urban, suburban, and a type related to electric vehicles and big data. The route configuration models proposed in comprehensive transportation network design research works are based on the minimum cost theory, the large-scale city line allocation method, and the micro-optimisation method [9][10][11][12]. Abramović et al [9] presented a possible solution for integrated passenger transport organisation on the Zagreb-Velika Gorica route, with the emphasis on connecting the Velika Gorica railway station to the town of Velika Gorica.…”

“…Based on the city's per capita income, the time devoted to generate income by each individual can be calculated using the eight-hour working system. Then, the relative generalised travel cost (R) is calculated according to Equation (9). The smaller the R-value, the higher the social and economic benefits of the line and the less resources are wasted.…”

As a result of transportation integration, the role of highway passenger transport hubs has changed dramatically; these nodes act as important links to construct a seamless regional comprehensive passenger transport system which reflects the coordination and symmetry of public transportation and the integrated transportation system. In order to optimise the efficiency of transportation organisation and improve the quality of passenger transport services, in this study we developed an optimisation method for the allocation of passenger transport hubs based on the analysis of passenger flow demand and spatial distribution. Configuration models of the departure sites of single-station and multi-station hub lines were established according to the service scope of the stations and the relative generalised travel cost, respectively. The overall optimisation method of the route allocation scheme was proposed by checking and optimising the passenger volume of each station. The developed methodology was successfully validated by applying it to the highway passenger transport hub system of Nanjing, China. The proposed methodology is expected to help management agencies and business operators to optimise existing highway passenger bus lines, thereby improving the quality of their services.
