  12. EMTA Workshop – 05.11.2009, Warsaw Barriers of the development of the public transport in metropolitan areas Lack of competence in Poland every municipality is responsible for its public transport on its own The regional railways are under regional competence Lack of a common planning and organizing unit for the whole metropolitan area

  13. EMTA Workshop – 05.11.2009, Warsaw Need for fleet modernization Bus fleet age: 14% over 15 years, 47% over 10 years Tram fleet age: 54% over 20 years, the oldest tram car in traffic was 50 years old this year! The old trams and buses have a high floor level and are not accesible for everyone Huge needs for modernization to increase the attractiveness of public transport

  14. EMTA Workshop – 05.11.2009, Warsaw Fleet modernization (2)

  15. EMTA Workshop – 05.11.2009, Warsaw There are two practiced ways of fleet modernization: New fleet bought by municipal operators on credit – in-house, long-term contracts serve as bank guarantee (4 operators, 4 contracts) New tenders on bus services for 8-10 years – the operators have to buy new fleet according to the requirements of the tender (at the moment 3 operators after 8 tenders) Ways of fleet modernization
