Simultaneously, these countries, including the Czech Republic, have experienced a great boom in transport and individual car transport in particular.
The aggregated data and a the results from a qualitative sociological survey presented in this paper demonstrate how is the residential suburbanization connected to the use of car for commuting and thus a change in modal split toward a higher share of car.
