Modernisation of public transport stops and information systems

The city of Košice, the second largest city of the Slovak Republic, is a key economic conurbation, but also an important intersection of transport routes.With the rise of living standards, there is an increase in caring, and thus a decrease in the use of public transport, which leads to environmental degradation and congestion. In order to maintain or increase the proportion of VOD transport, it is necessary to offer passengers high-quality and reliable services, minimising barriers and maximising compactness and efficiency. The implementation of the project Modernisation of public transport stops and information systems will ensure modernisation of the VOD infrastructure – bus stops, where there is a high frequency of passengers, by means of communication means – by fitting a stop sign and LED information boards with accessories, construction modifications of stops (waiting and boarding areas for passengers) with the creation of barrier-free access to stops, as well as modifications of roads at the stop points (separate stop lanes outside the road lanes). The aim of the project is to improve and make travel by public passenger transport more attractive by modernising the infrastructure and transport system at the stops. We will contribute to meeting the Specific Objective 1.2.1 as well as the global IROP goal.Specific objectives projektu:Zvýšenie safety, reliability and fluidity of urban transport by modernising the infrastructure at the stops and ensuring barrier-free access. To make the transport service of the territory of Košice more efficient thanks to the connection of connections to transport systems within the urban area. Increasing the proportion of the travelling public by public passenger transport.Simplification and shortening of the transfer between the different transport modes in terms of time and space. The planned objectives will be fulfilled through the implementation of the main activity of the project Modernisation of public transport stops and information systems, as well as project support activities – project management and publicity. The primary target group is citizens of the city of Košice – travelling by public transport. The secondary target group is residents of surrounding villages and towns commuting for work and visitors to the city. The implementation of the project will achieve 1 measurable indicator: P0473 Number of built and upgraded integrated stops – 29
