An increase in the number of passenger cars on Polish roads causes, among others, traffic difficulties, increased noise level and atmospheric air pollution. The solution to these problems may be an increase of public transport in the share of the passenger transport. Factors that can affect the decision to opt out of passenger cars for public transport may be economic, environmental, but they also include greater safety, including fire safety. Statistical data indicate that fires of passenger cars in Poland constitute over 80% of the number of fires of all means of transport, while fires of means of public transport constitute approx. 3%. Fire safety of means of transport depends largely on the properties of combustible materials constituting structural elements and furnishing. Requirements and criteria for material assessment are specified in standards and legal acts. They depend on the type of transport. So there are different requirements for coaches and different ones for trains or passenger ships. Findings of flammability tests of public transport furnishing indicate that not all materials can meet the requirements of fire safety regulations and incorrectly selected may pose a threat to the health and life of people in the vehicle.
