Ways to address the challenges in passenger traffic within the urban transport systems

The paper dwells on developing the measures required for the effective functioning of urban bus routes, which are of great practical importance. As the analysis shows that in order to effectively organize urban passenger traffic and determine their optimal number on the routes, it is necessary to determine the pattern of changes in passenger flows, and on this basis, to distribute the number of buses in accordance with day–night hours. Based on this, an analysis of factors has been carried out affecting urban bus transport, and we have developed the measures aiming at increasing the effectiveness of passenger transport in transport companies.
