The study examines the development opportunities of cross-border public transport services between Miskolc and Košice. Despite the strengthening of economic, educational and labor market relations in the Košice–Miskolc Euroregion in recent years, the public transport offer has only partially adapted to the changed mobility needs. The article reviews the current rail and bus services and then outlines realistic service development directions (adapting to travel needs and considering infrastructure constraints), based on interregional cooperation. The expansion of the offer and intermodal developments can contribute to the transport integration and sustainable development not only of the border region, but also of the entire Euroregion.
