Abstract: Abstract Organization of urban public transport is the municipality’s own task. It is expected that fares will not only provide appropriate income, but also will become a relevant tool for the development of transport policy in cities. Decisions concerning ticket prices for urban public transport demand taking into account numerous factors and variables, among others, those concerning costs of service provision, financing possibilities, potential demand for services, and several social postulates concerning transport services offer. The aim of the paper is to make an attempt to identify the micro- and macroeconomic factors influencing changes of fares in urban public transport, as well as to examine their influence upon the development of ticket prices in Poland.
