EN Information is key in public transport (PT) systems because it influences their attractiveness. In recent years, there has been a trend towards digitization and opening up data related to the operation of PT. However, this progress varies from country to country. In this study, the authors analysed the availability of digital information on PT in Poland. For this purpose, 16 open data repositories and 22 commercial solutions were analysed. As a result, 66 open public transport data sources in GTFS format were retrieved, of which 48 were unique and up-to-date. The data included timetable information for 68 unique transport operators and nearly 50,000 stops, covering 35% of the built-up area in Poland. Additional information, e.g. on fares, was available much less frequently. The analysis of commercial solutions indicated that, in terms of the number of operators included, these solutions contain more data than open datasets. In terms of geographical coverage, the analysis was less conclusive. In addition, a rather limited number of commercial solutions tended to operate outside the largest cities. This makes planning journeys much more difficult in rural areas, with the passenger needing to have a good awareness of the planning solution to choose in a particular location.
