“…The issue of public passenger transport quality assessment, to a certain extent, has already been addressed in several publications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Nevertheless, results of these studies point only to partial evaluations of the quality of individual transport sections, while there is lack of reference and link to the individual timetable evaluations as a whole.…”

“…At present, achieving a uniform, sustainable, integrated, and efficient transport system requires creation of transfer links and interconnections across all modes of transport. The availability of destinations and the frequency of connections are the most important criteria in terms of passengers' interest in public transport [1][2][3].…”

“…It can be stated that, from a spatial point of view, the transport network intended to serve as regular passenger transport is rather well developed and sufficiently covers transport areas of public interest. Compared to the EU average, however, the quality of examined transport network effect of the transport network utilization on optimization algorithms [1][2][3]12], whilst others deal with periodic transport modes on transport networks and their optimization [6,7]. For instance, authors in [13,14] present a particular transport network, specifically railway transport infrastructure in regard to the quality evaluation.…”

The paper is focused on the issue of assessing the quality of transport connectivity on a predesignated transport network in regular public passenger transport at a regional scale. Comprehensively, using the defined key qualitative indicators, it assesses the performance of passenger transport timetables, in both ways of ex ante, as well as ex post. Existing methodologies in a given issue have only dealt with a partial assessment of the transport connectivity quality on specific transport network. However, unlike them, the objective of this manuscript was to propose a new unified methodology to assess the passenger transport timetables in terms of transport connectivity, and subsequently to complexly evaluate the whole predesignated regional transport network from a qualitative point of view. In this paper, the proposed methodology is demonstrated on a particular regional transport network, specifically an existing railway network in the Slovak Republic, whereby the data related to regional passenger transport timetables for a certain day is an input factor. The purpose of this study was to design and verify a draft methodological procedure to assess the quality of transport connectivity on a certain transport network, thus moving towards more effective evaluation of integrated transport systems. Its practical applicability consists in comparison of existing and proposed timetables, which is considered one of the crucial factors in terms of public passenger transport quality.Sustainability 2019, 11, 3532 2 of 18 in the Slovak Republic is poor, in particular in regard to demands placed on it. Regional differences in the quality of transport network, which has far-reaching consequences in terms of increasing economic and social disparities among individual parts of the country, are also apparent [4][5][6][7]. Previous research studies [8][9][10][11][12] have confirmed that the quality of transport infrastructure is considered a crucial element which makes decisions about the foreign investment allocation very often. The offered quality of transport network connectivity is considerably related to services provided within transport sector [4].The main task of transport is to satisfy the customers' requirements for quality, flexible, fast, and safe transportation of passengers and cargo [1,3]. Quality is differently perceived from the transport user [12], transport services provider, or transport organizer point of view, but also from the society-wide point of view. This is caused due to the fact that assessing the quality of transport network connectivity is performed in a non-systematic manner, regardless of the interaction of carried passengers with traffic or transport system [12,13]. Customers' needs and expectations are monitored by establishing procedures in accordance with the Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on rail passengers' rights and obligations [14][15][16].Based on the previous research studies [17][18][19][20][21], it can be declared that on...

“…Within the evaluation process, the individual flights and connections at the airports are assessed, not the quality of the connection between point A and point B. [6,7] The case study in this paper is based on Václav Havel Airport Prague situated in the Central Bohemian Region. The specific routes (26 routes/destinations) were selected for the demonstration of the proposed assessment.…”

The objective of this contribution is the application of a new methodology for assessing connectivity in passenger transport regarding selected tariff points accessibility in the context of developing the selected region. From the passenger´s point of view, it is necessary to specially assess the accessibility of lines within transportation, between the selected destinations using passenger air transport. The length of the travel time, the number of necessary transfers and the number of travel opportunities affects the possibilities of transport between place A and B. The connections and lines are thus influenced by many factors. This is the basic point to consider when designing a set of evaluation criteria for assessing the connectivity and in carrying out a case study for a specific region. In this paper, Václav Havel Airport in Prague (Czech Republic) with selected air transport connections were evaluated according to the proposed methodology.

Rural tourism transport provision makes sustainable travel challenging as evidenced by studies in the Global North. However, the nature of socio‐environmental challenges is different in the Global South, necessitating attention on resolving these different problems. Social practice theory (SPT) allows greater understanding of travel by considering the interplay between transport form and availability, the tourists' competences to make use of the provision, and the meanings associated with using it. Drawing from 31 semi‐structured interviews with tourists and destination stakeholders, this paper aims to explore and understand tourists' rural travel practices in Bali through a SPT lens to identify sustainable travel opportunities. Destination transport provision has evolved to meet residents' needs for travel and income generation, shaping the options for tourists. Motorbike and car‐rental allow tourists to achieve holiday needs and overcome travel limitations. Regional authorities need to address rural tourism provision deficiencies to tackle socio‐environmental sustainability in rural travel.
