Description
Summary:Abstract: Out of 15 Polish airports serving regular passenger connections, only 5 are integrated with local passenger rail transport, and this integration has a differ scale, which translates into the efficiency of intermodal connections and their popularity among travelers. There are also numerous plans to build or modernize railway lines and, incidentally, also tram lines to improve airport accessibility. Author of this paper discusses the existing and planned (as well as potential) solutions, focusing on local (agglomeration) transport. The issue of integration of CPK (Centralny Port Komunikacyjny = Central Transportation Hub) with the long-distance rail network is only outlined as a topic with different specificity and as such deserves a separate publication. Keywords: Airport; Local rail transport; Integration
