Economic growth and increasing disposable incomes have led to a higher demand for transportation services, including buses. As the economy continues to grow, more people are able to afford private vehicles, which can lead to increased traffic congestion and a greater need for public transportation options. Additionally, government investments in infrastructure, such as roads and highways, have improved the accessibility and connectivity of different regions in Slovakia, further driving the demand for buses. In conclusion, the Buses market in Slovakia is developing in response to customer preferences for more sustainable and fuel-efficient transportation options. The growing popularity of electric and autonomous buses reflects these preferences. Additionally, local special circumstances, such as government policies and a well-developed public transportation system, have contributed to the growth of the market.
