Wyzwania w badaniach sieci pozamiejskiego transportu autobusowego na przykładzie powiatów Beskidu Niskiego i Bieszczadów
Challenges in suburban bus transport research on the example of poviats of Low Beskid and Bieszczady mountains

Summary/Abstract: The research carried out by the author on the topic of transport exclusion in the poviats of the Low Beskids and the Bieszczady Mountains highlighted the problem of the lack of complete and reliable sources enabling not only to track changes in suburban bus transport network, but even to recognize its current offer. It was observed in the time of research, that the situation over the last nearly 30 years has dramatically deteriorated due to the significant dispersion of the information on bus timetables. Therefore, gathering the expected research material was much more time-consuming than the author assumed. This prompted him to discuss in one place the barriers that researchers could meet in researching of the public transport networks. He devotes a lot of space for the discussing from the researcher’s perspective the effects of the division of competences in the approval of timetables between individual transport organizers. Other threats to the researchers involved in researching this topic are also indicated. The article is summed up with the recommendations aimed to improve not only scientific research, but also to facilitate the daily lives of the passengers of the suburban public transport.
