Description On a traditional autumn date, 6 and 7 November 2014, the Department of Economics at the Faculty of Economics and Administration of the Masaryk University in Brno in cooperation with the Institute of International Studies of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the Charles University in Prague (both Czech Republic) organized 9th Telč Seminar, which took place in the University Centre of the Masaryk University in Telč (Czech Republic). The main topic of the seminar, supported by a grant by Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, was Standards of Transport Services – Central Strategy versus Regional Priorities. The second part of the seminar consisted of a panel discussion aimed at defining standards of regional transport; moderated by Martin Kvizda and Daniel Seidenglanz (both Masaryk University Brno) and featured Miroslav Marada (Charles University Prague; focusing on transport geography), Petr Pšenička (SŽDC - Railway Infrastructure Administration), Lumír Pečený (University of Žilina; focusing on transport engineering), and Tomáš Pospíšil (ČD – Czech Railways Inc.). As a follow-up of a foregoing discussion, several basic issues were opened which gave rise to a lively discussion in which not only panel speakers engaged, but other participants in the seminar, too: Which type of transport needs should be serviced by subsidized regional transport? What should be the spatial definition of regional transport? Which is the optimum temporal standard of regional transport? What does a suitable party ordering regional transport look like? How to co-ordinate regional transport with its long-distance counterpart?
