Abstract:

Mass public passenger transport has a key role in the social and economic development of any country. The passenger transport market in Bulgaria represents a specific area of demand and supply of transport services and the related transport capacities in order to carry out the spatial movement of passengers. This report analyzes the dynamics of demand for passenger transport in different modes of transport. The trends in the number of passengers carried, the transport work performed and the changes in the average transport distance per passenger are observed. The analyzed period (from 2015 to 2022) covers the time after the recovery of the country‘s economy from the global financial and economic crisis and ends with the passing of the global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The examined eight-year period allows to trace the main trends in the development of the national passenger transport market and, on this basis, to make recommendations for its future sustainable development.
