Abstract
A company which provides services in the field of collective passenger transport must ensure that its offer is attractive to potential customers and also economically sound. This requires, inter alia, a competitive fare and the adaptation of the timetable and the fleet in use to the needs of the residents transport timetable. This will be possible only after a precise diagnosis of fluctuations in the stream of passengers. The paper presents the results of studies aimed at determining how to shape the daily fluctuations in the stream of passengers during the week and whether on different lines and in different time periods they are similar, i.e. if one can speak of the existence of a common pattern (profile). The analysis was based on the data from the period from July 2010 to March 2011, with the separately examined periods of winter and summer holidays. There were analyzed a number of selected lines connecting the suburban municipality of Rzeszów. The public transport services on these lines are provided by Inter-Municipality Car Communication (IMCC).
