Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is the analysis of behaviours of operators in the regulated competition market. The subject of study is the public transport market, which is organized by KZK GOP (Municipal Transport Union of the Upper Silesian Industrial District) in Katowice. This chapter contains analyses of: concentration of bus transportation market, results of tendering proceedings and action strategies of operators. This chapter in particular tackles the issue of the process of merging entities into consortia. The main conclusions of the performed analysis concern three issues. Firstly, municipal carriers have the dominant position in the market and usually do not compete with each other. Secondly, there is large pressure from private carriers. Thirdly, the phenomenon of coopetition occurs frequently; depending on the situation, carriers either compete or cooperate in the field of winning transportation orders. Cooperation manifests itself mainly in the process of establishing consortia, which allows the involved entities to meet the requirements specified in the terms of reference.
