12 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 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 14 EMTA Workshop – 05.11.2009, Warsaw Fleet modernization (2)

15 15 EMTA Workshop – 05.11.2009, Warsaw Ways of fleet modernization 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)

24 24 EMTA Workshop – 05.11.2009, Warsaw Parking policy (1) Parking charge in the city center P+R facilities outside of the city center

25 25 EMTA Workshop – 05.11.2009, Warsaw Congestion charge Controverse topic The current mobility plan foresees congestion charging „in further perspective” Common opinion – first the road rings around the city and then CC
