The range of commuting interms of economic costs was differentiated by the level of remuneration in each city. The results of economic diversificationwere reported using isodapane method (a line of equal costs) in several variants. The studies showed a large differentiation inthe economic accessibility and a negative impact of motorway tolls, estimated at 70% of the costs incurred on the road and onan annual basis of 122 million PLN (at the same speed conditions).
