“…Passenger transport is generally considered as an activity, which arises as the consequence of spatial division of places, where people are in exact time and their need to move. Motivators for moving could be commuting (job or education), dealing with personal or working matters, travelling for vacation (hiking, sport, health, cultural and social facilities), visiting relatives and friends [8].…”

Market liberalization is a great contemporary trend in many fields of economy. Formation of a united railway market in the EU leads to liberalization of railway passenger transport, what changes the entrepreneurship strategies of transport companies. Liberalized transport market, where the transport demand is meeting with transport offer, is evolving dynamically. The purpose of market transformation is sustainable economic development besides increasing quality of transportation and people mobility. Due to market liberalization, transport companies tend to attach more importance to economic aspects. Basic objective of each transport company is to decrease the costs and increase revenues from transportation. Private railway passenger operators want to increase their market share together with national railway passenger transport companies therefore the quality of passenger transportation is getting higher, which positively influences the attractiveness of railway passenger transport. Railway passenger transport, as important part of transport system connected with mobility of people, is evaluated from operating-economic point of view. Operation part means technology, what consists of timetable, vehicle circulation, the run of the train requisites and passengers flows analysis. Internal costs calculation and revenues quantification represent economic part of the evaluation. The paper is focused on current trends of entrepreneurship in railway passenger transport market. From managerial, operational and economical point of view, there are described some ways, how to make the railway passenger transport system more effective and make the entire transport system more attractive for traveling public.

“…Staff behaviour is also very important, because their function is not only checking the travel ticket, but also provide information about traveling and they must induce a good feeling among passengers. (Dedik et al, 2017) Entire quality is defined as an ability to satisfy all requirements of customers. Specific signs for services in transport are insubstantiality, impossibility to store, inseparability, variability, complexity and uniqueness.…”

Integrated passenger transport system consists of many factors with various impacts on the entire system quality. In passenger transport, there are mostly individual passengers therefore it is difficult to determine all transport requirements. In the passenger transport system, there are several modes of transport, but passengers mostly use road and rail transport. Passenger transport system is influenced by many qualitative factors with various impacts. The paper is focused on analysis of the role of railways in integrated passenger transport systems. The analysis is from passenger point of view because the key element in railway passenger transport is the passenger (customer), who requires the transport from one place to another. A basic precondition for accomplishing the main requirement (transport), is making the complete offer which provides not only transport, but also other complementary services. There are several types of passenger trains, which jointly create a part of integrated transport system. Quality of this transport system depends on train route topology, timetable of trains, number and location of all stations and stops. Primary function of the transport system is providing transport for passengers on regional, national-interregional and international level; therefore, the analysis involves these levels.

“…The regulation stipulates the establishment of a "one-stop-shop" for each railway freight corridor. The primary objective is to manage the requests for the infrastructure capacity for railway freight trains that pass at one border along the corridor [5]. The current corridors ensure the connection of ports, and larger and smaller cities.…”

Ecological and sustainable modes of transport should be the main modes of transport of goods. Promotion of railway freight transport is a key element of the EU policy. It is important to have an appropriate transport infrastructure to ensure sustainable competitive railway transport. It is able to ensure the most flexible mobility of the goods with the most advantageous parameters. This article analyses the current status as well the level of achievement of the objectives set by the European Commission. The article also deals with the established nine corridors for international railway freight transport. The aim is to introduce different measures that should help increase the efficiency and competitiveness of railway freight transport in the European countries under CIM transportation mode. When designing new corridors, it is necessary to analyse and optimize the current railway network. Optimization solutions are used to analyse the network analysis methods. In particular, the critical path method (CPM) and the critical chain method (CCM) are used.
