Abstract

City authorities are taking action to increase public transport attractiveness. More and more innovative solutions are being introduced. Therefore, the research was aimed at answering the question: have innovations improved residents' quality of life in their opinion. The research was conducted in one of the Polish cities due to the number of introduced innovations. Surveys were carried out, which showed that the introduced innovations improve the quality of life of residents. In their opinion, innovations most influencing their quality of life are connected with security and travel comfort. Innovations connected with the environment and availability of information play also an important role.
