The aim of the paper is to analyze transport possibilities of Trnava Self-Governing Region (TTSK) municipalities residents to its center (regional capital) by public transport.The authors of the paper have reviewed the current trends of public transport and discussed the optimization of their capacity and timetable scheduling in terms of continuity and parallelism of bus and train transport.The research methods included GIS tools, complex accessibility calculations based on the journeys published on slovakrail.sk and www.cp.sk on a Tuesday, February 6, 2018 at four key times (4:00, 7:30, 14:00, 24:00), which were compared by four aspects: distance traveled, travel time, number of transfers, comprehensive route accessibility by three types of transport: train, bus and combined transport.The results of the research have showed that there is a certain threshold value for travel distance, time and number of transfers, which affects the commuters to either not visit the regional capital or choose to travel by a car.It was confirmed, that every type of public transport in the territory of TTSK has areas where it is currently the main way for commuting to the regional city.The authors of the paper have provided a comprehensive picture of selected aspects of spatially functional accessibility by public transport and the characteristics of individual types of transport in terms of following the scheduled route timetables in the TTSK region during the selected key times.
