The main goal of KOMBI is to significantly increase the interconnectivity of the Komarno-Komarom cross-border region by launching an innovative type of cross-border public transport system. Similarly to the whole programming area, the Komarno-Komarom cross-border region is currently characterised by poor service quality in cross-border commuting. With regards to cycle traffic, the region faces 2 main challenges: accessibility of existing infrastructure (level of related services) and high need for further infrastructure development. KOMBI will primarily address the accessibility challenge through a pioneering service development.

Direct objectives:

  1. developing and launching an integrated cross-border bike sharing system in nine settlements (HU-4, SK-5) with 13 bike stand points;
  2. integrating the bike sharing system into local public transport systems;
  3. developing infrastructure to facilitate cross-border bike traffic and bike sharing system: The newly constructed parking lot at Építők parkja in Tata will serve as an important spot for changing modes of transport and as a starting point for bike trips. The same holds for the newly constructed parking lot in Nesvady, which is located along a future bicycle path connecting Komarno and Nove Zamky and in the proximity of the currently constructed thermal bath complex.
  4. raising awareness of target groups for using green transportation solutions.

The project directly contributes to SO 2.2.1 Improving cross-border public transport services. The primary target group is inhabitants in the affected border region crossing the border regularly. Furthermore, visitors from the other side of the border and from neighbouring areas, tourists from other regions of Slovakia, Hungary and other countries are also targeted. We will provide an easy-to-use, healthy and environmentally friendly solution to our target groups.

The project runs for 24 months starting in September 2017 with a total budget of EUR 999,308.0.
