In the past decades, the functioning of urban transport in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe has been based on traditional means of urban transport, primarily trams, trolley buses and diesel buses. The technological development of power sources has caused significant transformations in urban transport. On the one hand, the new possibilities have allowed for increasing the availability of non-emission means of transport in a larger area; on the other one, they allow the introduction of non-durable connections served by electric buses in place of trolleybuses or trams. The sustainability of infrastructure, which until now was the guarantor of public transport functioning, remains key. Lines operated by electric buses do not have such a guarantor. This leads to the conclusion that technological development can contribute to the unsustainable development of urban transport. Post-socialist countries, due to the underdevelopment of individual motorisation, had numerous tram and trolleybus transport networks. Now, fascinated by electric buses, they could willingly replace classic means with new vehicles without, however, conducting appropriate research as to the legitimacy of such actions. The article will outline the activities that are undertaken by exemplary cities in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe that subscribe to or deny the idea of sustainable development of transport in relation to new power technologies in urban transport.
