The decline in the volume of passenger traffic, the critical level of financial condition, and the depreciation of the material and technical base caused a significant economic downfall of the railway transport. The reorganization of structural units is intended to improve the quality of service provision, which affects the final demand of consumers, which influences the volume and profitability of passenger transportation. The author suggests applying the principles of the organization of the revenue account from passenger transportation, exempt from VAT, to reduce its loss ratio amid organizational and structural transformations during the reshaping of passenger transport segment. Increasing the competitiveness of passenger rail transportation will contribute to the economic development of the entire nation.

Long-distance passenger rail transportation is a socially significant sector of the transport industry. The mobility of the population in the Russian Federation depends on the effective activities of transport carriers in this segment. However, every year in the system of state antitrust regulation, we can see the growing inefficiency of managerial decisions made in relation to the formed rules of the regulatory environment. This article presents an analysis of how the existing crisis in the economy caused by the spread of coronavirus infection affected the results of long-distance railway carriers activities. Given the predicted reduction in government support and economic activity, the authors conclude that it is necessary to increase the role of logistics in the financial and economic activities of transport carriers as one of the drivers for optimizing the financial condition of enterprises in the sector.

The organization of transport services for suburban routes during the periods of providing "windows" should be based on logistics approaches and the principle of maximum use of the possibilities of railway transport for the development of a given and predicted passenger traffic. Intermodal transport is the most progressive and efficient method of passenger transportation, which is most convenient and more understandable to a person from the point of view of the organization-the responsibility of one carrier for the entire transport process on the route.

The carriage of passengers takes a significant place in the activities of transport organizations. Ensuring high quality passenger transportation is one of the main tasks of railway transport, which directly depends on the technical equipment and technology of servicing passenger traffic at passenger stations. The introduction of multimodal transport in passenger traffic can change the attitude to transport in general, it will allow: to pick up each passenger the optimal combination of modes of transport (price and quality); monitor the entire transport process and notify of further movements, to hold the carrier responsible for not fulfilling the stages of multimodal transportation. And the organization of the transport and transfer complex will optimize and streamline the process of passenger service. The study was carried out on the example of the transport hub of the station N. Station allows to transfer passengers from rail transport (long and suburban) to all types of urban transport, as well as taxis and personal transport. However, there is practically no interaction with other types of transport at the regional and federal level in this hub. At some distance from station N is a bus station for several long-distance destinations. Territorial location, concentration of several modes of transport, accompanying infrastructure, as well as the potential of this station N allow to organize a prospective transport and transfer complex and attract additional passenger flow, which in the conditions of competition with personal vehicles is important. To do this, all the necessary elements of the multimodal node, necessary for the operation of the transport and transfer complex, are calculated.

The rapid significant increase in the quality of the process of passenger transportation by Kyiv public transport can be a powerful motivation to increase the frequency of its use. However, the parameters of the desired change in the quality of urban transport remain unknown, which leads to its chaotic management. Two trends in urban passenger traffic quality research are common. The first approach deals with measuring the operating parameters of the transport system, and the second one focuses on the research of customers' opinions regarding transport services. However, none of the scientists focuses fully on the specific human behavioral responses to the quality of the city's passenger transportation service, when urban transport is opposed to a private car. Because of this, the assessment of the quality of urban passenger transport requires the development of special tools. It is already clear today that not all traditional approaches used in studies of transport behavior that depend on the quality structure may be suitable for this.

The article presents a model for optimizing the activities of railway transport when organizing passenger transportation in a major transportation hub. When optimizing the calculations determine the number of vehicles that are assigned to the node; optimal rates for transportation; the number of transport units in the directions depending on the random demand for transportation. The possibility of attracting additional transport units in case of insufficiency of their own is taken into account. The model takes into account the influence of competitive transport (road). The solution of this problem in general requires the use of statistical modeling and nonlinear programming. Keywords optimization model, statistical modeling, optimal freight rates, non-linear programming.

In the presented paper the dynamics of passenger haulage by public transport is considered and a forecast is made. In Lithuania the total volume of passenger transportation by public land transport considerably decreased in the period from 1992 to 2001. In fact, the number of passengers carried by these transport facilities decreased by 3.1 times. The most considerable decrease was found on the local (suburban) bus routes and on international railway routes ‐ by 5.6 and by 5 times, respectively. Long‐distance transportation by bus which decreased only by 1.6 times was the least affected. The paper aims to identify major causes of transportation decrease common to road and railway transport (i.e. considerable growth of tariffs, fast growth of the number of personal motor cars, wear of transport facilities, lack of comfort, low prestige of public transport, etc.). The emphasis is placed on making a forecast of passenger traffic by using a multiple regression. The calculations show that the national income is the most reliable parameter for making forecasts of land transport development compared to a number of others, including national income, a gross national product, average monthly payment, household income and expenditures, national wealth, the index of production and users’ cost, and the variation of consumer goods and services. The forecasts show that passenger haulage by public transport will reach 575 m by 2010, while by 2015 it will grow up to 893 m. This means that transportation will increase by 1,6 times and 2,3 times, respectively, compared to passenger haulage in 2001. However, passenger transportation in 2015 will not achieve the volume found in 2001. The data of the considered forecast were used developing the strategies of national road and railway transport development.

The article analyzes the EU rail transport directives to be implemented in Ukraine after signing the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine, as well as the systematic positive and negative consequences and reservations of the implementation of the directives in the Ukrainian rail transport legislation. However, bringing of rail transport to the state declared in these directives requires significant investments including foreign ones. At the same time, the investment attractiveness of the railway industry is very low. The reason for this is the unsatisfactory state of the non-current assets, low quality of transportation, unprofitable passenger transportation which requires cross-subsidization, etc. Upgrade of the transport infrastructure should be carried out with the use of the latest energy efficient technologies. There is a need to change the management principles of the railway industry as a whole. Fulfilment of implementation conditions will trigger the attraction of investments and increase of the revenue part of the budget of Ukrzaliznytsia, which in turn will increase the competitiveness of the domestic railway.

The paper proposes a generalized logistic model of the urban passenger transportation system, and on its basis, there has been developed a modified model that allows for determining a set of organizational and economic indicators in each state of a system. To solve the optimization problem of the transportation process system under conditions of dynamically changing passenger traffic flows, there has been justified searching for a balance between the effectiveness and quality of solutions due to the «survival of the strongest alternative solutions» y to earn system of operational control buses on the route. There has been proven the advantage of using genetic algorithm to optimize the processes of organizing and managing the system of urban passenger transport with the aim of maximizing the profits of an enterprise at minimal cost.

Abstract. The wear rate of passenger cars of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" according to various estimates is equal up to 88-93%. Its aging is going on at a rapid pace and is not compensated by the acquisition of new cars. The paper analyzes the current state of the inventory of passenger cars. Data on replenishment of the fleet of passenger cars of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" by years of construction are given: in the years 1951-1979 1708 cars were purchased; from 1980 till 1991 3881 cars were received; from 1992 till 2009 532 units were purchased; in 2010-2011 years 30 cars were purchased; in 2016 only 9 were purchased; in 2017 this figure totals to 50 units; in the years 2018-2019 26 cars were purchased. The structure of the fleet of passenger cars by type as of October 9, 2020 is given. The paper presents the statistical data of passenger transportation by railway transport of Ukraine. The work of passenger transport in January - September 2020 in comparison with the similar period of 2019 is reviewed. The rapid decline in passenger traffic by rail in 2020 is due to the introduction of strict quarantine in Ukraine caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, passenger transportation by rail was completely stopped from March 11, 2020, and partially resumed in the second half of May. During the quarantine the number of assigned trains decreased significantly, and tickets for these trains were sold for a limited number of seats in cars (50% of seats), so losses incurred by Ukrzaliznytsia increased at least one and a half to two times (approximately UAH 1 billion, taking into account the fact that such transportation is social in nature, and ticket prices are regulated by the state). Statistics on the production of passenger cars by domestic enterprises are given in the paper. Analyzed the current state of the passenger car fleet of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" and made the appropriate conclusions and made recommendations on the necessary volumes of renewal of the passenger car fleet.
