Assessment of customer demand for public line transport in Croatia using multiple linear regression

The aim of this paper is to explore the public line transport in Croatia, determine its intensity and structure and to explore which factors have the greatest impact on the demand for public road transport. The existence and strength of dependence between the selected factors, for which are assumed to have an impact, and public road transport will be examined by multiple regression analysis. Results of the analysis should indicate which multiple regression model best meets the requirements of regression diagnostics. Furthermore, according to the selected model, the amount of demand for this type of transportation in the future will be evaluated.
