Optimization of the tariff on automobile passenger transportation to suburban united

The article deals with problems of transportation of passengers by motor transport in suburban connections in Ukraine. The essence and role of legislative and normative documents of Ukraine in the field of passenger transportation are revealed. The main factors influencing the pricing process in road transport are analyzed, in particular, the justification of the value of passenger transportation tariffs. The role of the state in the regulation of the cost of passenger transportation services is shown and the conditions of their organization are considered. Based on the analysis of the results of inspections of state authorities, it was established that in Ukraine "free" tariffs for passenger transportation services are formed, which enables business entities to regulate prices for this kind of services. Practical calculations have shown that the planned cost of services is one of the most important indicators that affects the pricing of passenger fares in road transport. The mechanism of determining the economically justified tariff for bus travel in suburban traffic has been improved in order to optimize the pricing process in the transport service system. The proposed methodology for determining tariffs for the transportation of passengers in suburban traffic has been proven in the practice of business entities in the Ternopil region.
