In order to maintain the 60 percent modal share of public transportation and counter the trend towards greater use of private cars, Krakow implemented measures to increase the quality, accessibility and attractiveness of the public transport system and improve safety, security and infrastructure, especially for those with reduced mobility.
On the city’s inner ring road, many of the on-street bus and tram stops were not safe or comfortable for passengers, especially older people and those with reduced mobility. These stops were reconstructed as combined bus and tram stops and new audio and visual information displays were installed, providing passengers with real-time travel information.
