Abstract: Abstract The article presents theoretical and pragmatic aspects related to the organisation and operation of the flexible transportation systems. Such systems are seen as promising from the point of view of ensuring mobility to the inhabitants, especially those living in the areas with a low demand for transport services. After 1990, inhabitants in multiple regions across Poland were deprived of their access to public transport. The main reason for which such services were no longer provided was the decrease in demand for public transport. Flexible systems may become a valuable supplementation of the public transport, as well as an alternative for individual car transportation, in the pragmatic level, the functioning of the flexible transportation in the city of Szczecin. This city is one of the two in which the transport on demand has been introduced. The statistical data analysis makes it possible to see the increased use of this form of transportation by the inhabitants.
