PROSPECTS FOR "SEAMLESS" PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION IN THE TRANSPORT SYSTEMS OF RUSSIAN CITIES WITH A MILLION POPULATION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF VOLGOGRAD)

Abstract

This paper examines the transportation systems of Russian cities with populations exceeding one million (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Chelyabinsk, Samara, Rostov-on-Don, Ufa, Krasnoyarsk, Voronezh, Perm, Omsk, and Volgograd), examining their transportation infrastructure and population mobility. The paper also examines the transportation system of Volgograd, exploring its route network and providing a detailed analysis of the existing public passenger transport network in Volgograd's Krasnoarmeysky District. It also proposes measures to improve passenger service for urban public transport using ground electric vehicles, specifically the introduction of a single passenger ticket, which would enable a seamless transfer system in Volgograd.
