At the end of June 2017, in the poviats served by the Sanok and Brzozów branches of Arriva Bus Transport Polska (formerly PKS Brzozów and PKS Sanok), an important carrier serving the area of several poviats withdrew unprecedentedly its services. Unlike many other former PKS enterprises that were being closed down, it still had a dominant, and even monopolistic, position on the market. As part of a broader study on the issue of transport based social exclusion, changes in the collective public transport network in the studied area, were identified. This was used to indicate the areas most exposed to this unfavorable process. One of such administrative division units is the Komańcza commune. Therefore, an additional study was conducted on the current transport problems of adults. It showed that they did not use public transport, and many were forced to buy a car due to insufficient offer of rail and bus operators.
