INVESTIGATING TECHNOLOGY OF IMPLEMENTING MULTI-MODAL PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION ON THE DIRECTION FROM UKRAINE TO THE EU COUNTRIES

Abstract

The present transport complex of our state requires essential modernization, improvement and change in the quality of services provided on the railway transport, first of all, in passenger transportation, since for today passenger transportation plays a significant role in the social and economic sphere. But the unprofitableness of passenger transportation in the PJSC «Ukrzaliznytsia» reached a critical point. In the article the given problem was considered with the purpose of its solution, the analysis of implementation of technology of a single ticket in multimodal communication was conducted.Long-distance passenger transport for rail transport is a loss-making activity. In 2017, in the far passenger railroad, expenses were covered by only 57 %. At the moment, one third of citizens of our state have the right to preferential transportation by rail, almost every fifth passenger uses the services of the railways free of charge or with a 50% discount. The research concludes that multimodal passenger transport technologies are a more complex modification of the organizational, technical, legal, and economic issues of the transport complex.Multimodal passenger transportation – a special subspecies of transportation, in which various types of transport are used in a complex and gradual manner. That's why, on the example of multimodal communication, the technology of a single ticket has been developed. Therefore, the proposed technology will provide an opportunity to increase profits, as it will be attractive to passengers. After all, provided that PJSC «Ukrzaliznytsia» initiates a single ticket, the passenger will be able to reduce the time on the road.
