Summary/Abstract: The article presents an overview of contractual and non-contractual liability for busses, railways, aeroplanes, and marine means of transport’s accidents arising during their exploitation. The national legal rules make a distinction between contractual and tort liability and between contractual liability for transported persons and property and non-contractual liability to other persons. The article highlights the fault-based liability which applies at the Bulgarian national level. The author offers the application of the liability in solidum between the transporter and the person, who handles the trace infrastructure.
