The practical significance. Use improved terminological concept of "urban rail transit" allows rationally use all types of rail transport in large cities and optimize the costs of their development and operation. The introduction of an improved classification of passenger trains in Ukraine will expand the boundaries of operation of rail transport and reduce the costs of local budgets for the carriage of people with of suburban zone to the big city.
