Abstract

The article presents the results of research devoted to differentiation of spatial accessibility of Łódź with the assumption that travelers from the Łódź province relocate using public transport. The analysis was conducted on the basis of a full inventory of bus, minibus, tram and railway connections reaching Łódź and 410 stops located within one-hour access isochrone to the region’s centre. The research accounts also for the distribution and the number of population of 2,419 towns and localities of the Łódź province. The calculations were based on the two-step floating catchment area method modified for the purposes of research into public transport effectiveness.

Keywords: public transport, spatial accessibility, Łódź province
