19.02.2013

Financing of the PT services

Sources of financing:
Budget of Warsaw (62%)
Fare revenues (36%)
Subsidies from other communities (2%)

budget of Warsaw (around 15% of the total
expenses)

19.02.2013

Warsaw workshop

15

Payments to the operators

Operators are paid monthly, on the basis
of the operated vehicle-km
Gross cost contracts, except for the
regional railway operators
Operators get penalties for poor services
The vehicle-km rate is set in an open
tendering procedure (private operators) or
in negotiations (municipal operators), and
then prooved by an independent audit

3. Organization of the public transport in

the Warsaw Metropolitan Area

19.02.2013

Organization of PT in the Warsaw

Metropolitan Area

31 communities have signed an

agreement with Warsaw on the
organization of the suburban PT
services by ZTM
These communities pay subsidies for the
services done on their territory
ZTM organizes them suburban bus lines
and ensures the acceptation of the ZTM
tickets in the suburban trains

19.02.2013

Warsaw workshop

Communities with agreement

19.02.2013

Warsaw workshop

25

Organization of PT in the Warsaw

Metropolitan Area

Other communities let their PT services

deregulated the services are done by private
operators, without the controll and the
subsidy of the community
Service only on frequented tracks
Poor quality, no fare integration
Private operators are working in communities
with contract, too

19.02.2013

Warsaw workshop

26

Organization of PT in the Warsaw

Metropolitan Area

In many communities there is a mixed system:

they have both signed an agreement with
Warsaw and let run other services:
Mostly by private operators without regulation
omianki has an own operator
Zbki organizes yearly tenders

19.02.2013

Warsaw workshop

27

Local services in the metropolitan area

A new philosophy of organization of the

suburban lines has been implemented last
year:
The community organizes its local transport, which
is bounded with the main ZTM or railway lines in
suburban junctions
The operator gets the fare revenues (price is set
by the community)
Long-term tickets of ZTM are honoured in the
buses
