The territory of the town is divided into areas: residential, industrial and recreational. Such division of the town into areas make inhabitants increasingly dependent on the transport system.In Lithuania and in other European countries the public transport is recognised as priority transport. In the towns of Lithuania, differently from other places, attention paid to it is insufficient, and the network of routes is being changed in a chaotic and unreasonable way.Modelling of Vilnius public transport was carried out with the help of VISUM software. The aim of modelling is to guarantee higher quality of living of inhabitants by modelling a public transport route network in Vilnius. A three‐level public transport network was formed: main, service and feeder routes, which facilitated rational provision of Vilnius inhabitants with the public transport services.
