“…Studies of other researchers addressing the issue of mobility networks within urbanized settlements have analyzed the sustainability levels of the transport infrastructure. Kołoś and Taczanowski [29] highlighted that the increasingly negative effects of car usage are fast creating a need for a means of public transport that is not only separated from street traffic, but that it is also effective and environmentally friendly, proposing light rail transportation as such an alternative. While developing our Sustainability Transport Infrastructure Index (STI) we considered railways and tramways as the most sustainable types of transport infrastructure and designed the formula to be able to emphasize the amount of these types of infrastructures within the metropolitan settlements.…”

“…The concerns regarding public transportation are relevant, as more urban environments are overcrowded, and distances are getting wider in terms of travel time [25]. The shape, density and growth of a transportation network determine changes in property values [26][27][28], exposure levels to air and noise pollution [24,29], accessibility degree to private or public services [30,31], or sprawling patterns [21,32]. Thus, the design of the mobility networks within human settlements can influence their livability levels, unfunctional networks conducting to public anger and eventually to planning-based conflicts.…”

“…I chociaż najwięcej przesłanek wskazuje na rozwój w ramach komunikacji publicznej elektromobilności, w tym zwłaszcza komunikacji szynowej, to ten dylemat wciąż pozostaje trudny do rozstrzygnięcia (por. Bartłomiejczyk, Połom, 2015a, 2015b, 2019Kołoś, Taczanowski, 2016Molecki, 2014;Połom, 2014Połom, , 2018.…”

“…(Podoski, 1977;Boisjoly, El-Geneidy, 2016), który jest konkurencyjny w porównaniu z transportem indywidualnym w miejscu, gdzie opiera się na podróży metrem lub tramwajem (Benenson i in., 2010;Salonen, Toivonen, 2013). Najszybszymi środkami transportu zbiorowego w mieście są metro, szybki tramwaj i autobus (Cao, 2013;Kołoś, Taczanowski, 2016) i wokół takich inwestycji zauważa się wzrost wartości nieruchomosci i ogólny wzmożony ruch inwestycyjny (Geurs i in., 2009;Gadziński, Radzimski, 2015). W większości miast główny środek transportu stanowi samochód (Blumenberg, Ong, 2001;Beirão, Sarsfi eld Cabral, 2007), który jest wygodniejszy i przeważnie szybszy w dojazdach (Benenson i in.…”
