The paper examines what has become a widely accepted key principle of urban public passenger transport policy. Integration assumes a level of unification both between and within all of the operating modes of public passenger transport - bus, tram, metro, train, etc. The growth of integration in urban areas is very much a common phenomenon within the developed world of the last 10-20 years. Differences of approach relate to matters of organizational detail more than interpretation of the principle itself. The paper discusses the following aspects of integration: Meaning and arguments advanced in its favor; Assessing the impact of integration; Case studies; What happens to integration under deregulation.
