Public passenger transport in the Republic of Slovenia has been characterized by a steep decline in supply and demand for the past 15 years. Some local communities have made an attempt to increase the use of public passenger transport in the past few years by reducing fares or by introducing free public transport. In the municipality of Dol pri Ljubljani, the reduction of fares was also connected with a significant improvement in the supply of public transport. The effects of these municipal steps were analysed by means of counting and interviewing the passengers.
