Evaluation of Key Performance Parameters of Transport Companies in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Everyone knows transport and not many people can imagine life without it nowadays. It has its importance in economics, culture, politics and security. The issue of transport security and the related transport service is relevant in view of the growing trend in the number of private cars, where the increasing number of cars in families is putting pressure on public transport. The aim of this article is to evaluate the functioning of transport companies in selected cities of the Czech Republic on the basis of selected performance and operational criteria. In this case, the number of passengers carried in relation to the density of the transport network is chosen as the operational criterion. The assessment is based on data from nineteen, respectively twenty transport companies operating on the territory of the Czech Republic, which are also active members of the Association of Transport Companies of the Czech Republic (Sdružení dopravních podniků České republiky). The number of passengers carried by individual transport companies in the public transport network was monitored over a nine-year period. It was found on the basis of the analysis that the largest number of assengers per capita is attributed to the Prague transport company, while the transport companies from Chomutov and Jirkov show the lowest number. Within the analysis of the operational criterion - density of the transport network - the cities are relatively balanced. The highest density of the transport network is shown by the city of Teplice, where buses and trolleybuses serve the city, while the lowest density is shown by the city of Děčín. The paper deals with the hypothesis whether at least 50% of the employees of individual transport companies are drivers of transport companies.
