Automobile and urban electric transport

In accordance with official statistics the share of passenger transportation by automobile transport (buses) compared with others amounts to about 44%, urban electric transport – 49%. It also should be taken into consideration that in 2015 compared to the year before the amount of passenger transportation by automobile transport decreased by a quarter, unlike railway and urban electric transport. The share of automobile transport in cargo transportation amounts to 25%. A decrease of the amount of automobile transportation in comparison to 2014 amounts to 18%. The market of automobile transportation is characterized by no public sector of the economy in it. There are only private transporters. As a result, the main function of the Ministry is formation and implementation of the policy in this sphere, determination of “the game rules”, providing steady passengers and cargo transportation.

Among key tasks concerning implementation of normative acts regulating international road passenger and cargo transportation is drafting of a new edition of the order of Ministry of transport of Ukraine from 20.08.2004 № 757 “On Regulation of the System of Processing, Issuance, Use and Record of International Passenger and Cargo Transport Permits”, registered at the Ministry of Justice on 31.08.2004 № 1075/9674 and the order of 09.02.2004 № 75 “On Approval of the Procedure for Organization of Scheduled, Nonscheduled and Shuttle International Passenger Road Transport Services”, registered at the Ministry of Justice on 22.06.2004 № 759/9358.

These orders cover:
