Passenger transport hubs: thematic overview

Abstract

We consider in the study that many scientists from different countries in their studies have paid attention to the organization of multimodal passenger transport. Some focused on building a smart city with convenient transport infrastructure and interchanges, while others focused not only on locals but also on tourists. Methods and methods of research were to varying degrees and the same and different. But we can say that the common feature of their research is that all research is aimed at improving the basic service provided to passengers – transportation. Attention is also paid to additional related services, and potential benefits to investors and some other issues. Passenger rail transport brings significant public benefits in the form of rapid movement, reduction of congestion on the roads, reduction of environmental pollution. The article has investigated in which way at the present stage of economic development a key role in the effective functioning of the passenger complex of railway transport is played by the construction of modern transport interchanges – HUBs, which will provide interaction between railway carriers and other participants in the passenger industry. The article states that the mechanism developed by scientists for the implementation of multimodal passenger transport by rail in cooperation with other participants in the service process and the model of institutional support for the development of multimodal passenger transport by rail should be used in different countries.
