Development of an integrated public transport system in the Subotica-Szeged region (SuSze pubtrans)
Start date: Oct 31, 2011, End date: Jun 29, 2013 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project aims to create an integrated public transport system in the Szeged-Subotica region connecting communities on both sides of the border. The new integrated system would consist of harmonized public transport lines (rail and bus), an integrated electronic fare and ticketing system, real-time electronic information provision, and coordination of schedules of different transport operators. The new system would be based on joint planning activities as a result of closer cooperation of public transport operators and authorities responsible for transport provision on either side of the border. The new network will be supported by an electronic management, planning and information platform providing ITS based real-time information and coordinated planning.As a demonstration of the cross-border electronic platform an integrated electronic ticketing solution will be introduced in Subotica. Achievements: Subotica and Szeged are closely connected to each other on many levels. Commuting between the two cities is an everyday, natural occurrence. An integrated public transport system in the Subotica–Szeged region makes it easier, faster and more comfortable.

The new system is based on joint planning activities as a result of closer cooperation between public transport operators and authorities responsible for transport provision on both sides of the border. The cross-border project partnerships new network is supported by an electronic management, planning and information platform. As a demonstration of the cross-border electronic platform they introduced an integrated electronic ticketing solution in Subotica in November 2012 and a cross-border public transport study was also produced which included a proposal for new services based on the assessment of current and anticipation of future demand. The project was very significant in terms of the modernisation of public transport. This process indirectly facilitates mobility and networking in the border-region, thus, playing an important role in the development of this area.
