Public transportation is important today due to all the problems connected to the use of cars. To avoid these problems like pollution and traffic jams people need to use the public transportation systems more frequently. Many people today are used to the idea of their cars as a primary way of transportation due to the flexibility it provides. To make them think twice before using the car they need to find a sustainable and flexible substitute to the car, maybe public transportation could be that. This thesis aims to identify possibilities for development in the public transportation system. To do so some inhabitants in the municipality of Österåker have been interviewed about their opinion towards the public transportation. The results from the interviews have been thematically coded to be able to find common themes within the answers. The results show that the public transportation system is sufficient to use when commute to and from work, but not adequate enough within the municipality during leisure time or trips for service. This could mirror the opinions of the interviewed inhabitants that the public transportation is time consuming and lack flexibility. To work around these the municipalities and the public transportation companies need to work together to be able to change people’s views and behavioral towards the public transportations.
