Potential for learning or transfer
Preparation of the development concept for regional transport and spatial development represented an important element for PT implementation on the regional scale. It was essential that the PT development activities were organised and followed by Ljubljana municipality in close cooperation with Regional Development Agency of Ljubljana urban region and provider of Ljubljana urban transport. In order to receive strong political agreement “Development committee of Ljubljana urban region (KIOP)” was implemented. It constituted from mayors of 26 municipalities in Ljubljana urban region. Studies have shown that Urbana smart card and improvement of timetables were the key driving elements for PT development and usage in the regional scale. Yellow lanes on Barjanska, Dunajska and Slovenska roads have improved the arrival times and punctuality of schedules of Ljubljana urban bus operator.
