ABSTRACT:
The article is dedicated to analyzing the phenomenon and features of internal The article is devoted to analyzing the basic preconditions, features, prospects and problems of the motor transport development in the countries of the Visegrad Group, i.e. in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. This is done against the background of the well-known conclusion about the existence of a modal split in the development of transport in the countries of the region, in particular between the regressing rail transport and the progressing motor transport. To do this, the researcher first analyzed the state of development of various types of transport until the collapse of communist regimes in the region. After that, the focus was on the causes of the decline of rail transport and the improvement of motor transport efficiency. Finally, the author analyzed the current state of development and problems of motor transport in the countries of the Visegrad Group. As a result, it is proved that at present, in fact, nothing can affect the already formed modal split in the transport system of the countries of the region, which obviously will continue to deepen in favor of motor transport.
