Abstract: Abstract This study addresses the analyses related to travelling between selected points in 19 municipalities of the central part of Silesian Voivodeship by means of a car and public transport (entailing change options and use of all the available means of transport, i.e. bus, tram, trolleybus and railway). The focal point of the related study was to analyse the costs connected with passenger car driving as well as fees charged for travelling by public transport. Yet another aspect taken into account was travelling time. For the purposes of the research, the GT Planner tool was used, being an outcome of works conducted under the international Green Travelling project implemented within the framework of the ERANET Transport III programme. The final results were developed with reference to time and cost criteria. The relevant analyses were conducted for two optimisation criteria, i.e. the quickest and the cheapest route. As regards the quickest route, the studies covered a time interval from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. which made it possible to capture the variability in the measures analysed in time.
