3.1 Demand and Supply of Transport Connections
for Commuting
The share of individual transport use and level of public transport services are
mutually interlinked. If the share of individual transport use goes higher the pro-
vider of public transport should react on such decrease of passengers and reduce
provided transport services. On the other hand, the share of individual transport can
decrease when the number of accessible municipalities is higher in correct com-
muting times. The map (Fig.

) describes the relationship between previously

ned supply of public transport services and demand for public transport services
de
ned as the share of public transport use for commuting. All municipalities have
been divided into 12 categories depending on the size of both indicators. The
rst
three categories (shadow colours) contain only 38 municipalities with no use of
public transport for commuting. The median of commuting employees to these
municipalities is equal to 1 so they have only negligible impact (47 commuters). All
remained municipalities have been divided into 3

three quantiles of these two distributions.
