Personal transportation is an issue that deserves interest in research activities. There are plenty of situations necessary to deal with. The first one is transportation modes, and the second trend of so-called “de-urbanisation”, which means moving citizens from cities to small towns and villages. This trend very often causes an increased number of individual car trips and, at the same time, the decreasing trend in using public transportation modes. All mentioned circumstances lead to the necessity of finding new approaches how solving situations. One of them is the carpooling system. The goal of the research and this paper is to analyze passenger transport performance by mode and find possible consequnces with economy performance. The key data used for analyses will be the total passenger transport performance. It was found out that the development of transportation performance corresponded with economic cycles measured by GDP.

Keywords: carpooling system, transport performance, economic cycles, transportation service.
