Summary/Abstract: Due to the dynamic world growth, people more often need to choosetheoptimal mean of transport. To do it properly, experts correlate many transport offers and compare such features as: time of transit, costs, capacity. But it should be mentioned, that process of collecting, comparing and studying the data is a time consuming process. The article presents how the AHP method could be used as an aid to choose the optimal mean of transport. The method is widely used not only because of high effectiveness of resolving complex problems, but also because it is simple and the results are transparent and easy to interpret. Several significant parameters were chosen to conduct theanalysis.
