АНАЛІЗ СТАНУ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ РОЗВИТКУ МІСЬКОГО ГРОМАДСЬКОГО ТРАНСПОРТУ УКРАЇНИ

Abstract

The production, distribution and consumption of goods is impossible without the participation of transport, in particular urban public transport, which is in a deep economic crisis, which only deepens with the passage of time. In addition, the city's public transport and its infrastructure suffered huge losses during the period of full-scale military aggression, but are gradually being restored thanks to the efforts of the city councils and the help of partner countries. Therefore, we consider it important to analyze the current state and prospects for the development of urban public transport in our country. The article identified, researched and analyzed the main performance indicators of enterprises that are part of the Corporation of Urban Electric Transport Enterprises of Ukraine "Ukrelektrotrans", namely: volumes of transport work, volumes of passenger transportation, own expenses and revenues for 2022-2023. The analysis of the dynamics of all technical and economic indicators without exception showed that in the country as a whole in 2022 they significantly decreased compared to the indicators of 2021, but in 2023 the opposite trend was observed - an increase in the volume of transport work, passenger transportation, income and expenses at almost all enterprises of the country. Regarding the analysis and comparison of the indicator of cost coverage of enterprises at the expense of their own income from the main type of activity (income from the sale of travel tickets) and the indicator of cost coverage at the expense of all available items of income, the first indicator remains at an extremely low level, like all previous ones years of existence of city public transport. But the financing of enterprises at the expense of external sources made record figures for the industry, which determined the sufficient level of the indicator of cost coverage at the expense of all available income items. So, the lack of financing, which is so often talked about by the managers of transport companies, has been overcome. Therefore, the results of 2023 inspire hope for the revival of the industry. It is necessary to maintain this trend in 2024 and in all the post-war years, when the industry will be in high demand.
