Following the float of vintage transportation in Ukraine added train. If the government does not reconsider the concept of commuter services in the country, it will happen soon.
In

detective story involves brass station in the city Fastove (Kiev).. A few days officials were forced to come to work in civilian clothes, carefully observing the conspiracy. Puncture threatened them … battered by a furious crowd of passengers - so people have responded to the decision of management in South-Western Railway (YUZZHD) routes to reduce the electric Kiev - Kozyatin and Kiev - Mironivka last winter to Fastova. It just was not reached freezing rails.

Introduction

summer schedule on the railway enabled workers Fastiv station sigh of relief: from May 31 Trains from the capital to Fastova fits with commuter trains on Kozyatin and Mironivka. But with the end of summer, sunglasses, coats and inconspicuous own a pair of receptions Sambo employees railway does not prevent: Book Railway Trains will dissolve in the future. Since the beginning of the year УкрзаліÐ·Ð½Ð¸Ñ†Ñ has already abolished the movement of 9200 suburban trains, saying such a move of their loss.

extravagancy rich

Passenger unprofitable in almost all countries around the world. But only one, and Ukraine among them, allow themselves so low tariffs that the trip by rail is becoming cheaper than the bus. And this is without taking into account the many beneficiaries, for whom travel costs for nothing at all. In 2008, Ukr заліÐ· ¬ ¬ nitsya provided services for the privileged categories of passengers to 374 million UAH., But only 41% of this amount was offset by local authorities, railway - возмущается Alexander Ivanko, the chief of Main passenger management УкрзаліÐ·Ð½Ð¸Ñ†і. - This year the situation is repeated: we have moved concessionary passengers on 100 million UAH. In the first quarter, we got only a quarter of losses, and as of May 28, the level of compensation and is decreased to 21.7%.

Only one of the six railways (YUZZHD) increased the rates for travel to электричках - May 28 to 25%. The rest apparently were unable to agree with local authorities. And without their approval by the Antimonopoly Committee of blocking the increase in the cost of travel.

Loss on one electric flight, the first quarter of 2009 exceeded income by more than nine times - 4500 hrn. to 480 UAH. In the pre-crisis times partially overlap, the gap with funds from trucking companies. But their volume fell, and tariffs for these services are frozen.
УкрзаліÐ·Ð½Ð¸Ñ†Ñ developed a program to reduce the loss of passenger traffic, - said Mr. Ivanko. - It provides for the reduction of most unprofitable trains, especially suburban EMUs and diesel trains.

Back in USSR

For travel 10 km on the Ukrainian railways passengers pay an average of 0.7 grn. A similar rate in Belarus is 1,25 UAH., And in Russia from 1.5 UAH. (Vladimir, Arkhangelsk) to 2,5 UAH. (Moscow, St. Petersburg). In Ukraine, in contrast to all the neighbors in the former Soviet Union, the cost of 1 km for a passenger is inversely proportional to distance: the farther does so more cheaply. With the help of successful connections commuter trains just 8,5-11 grn. You can overcome a distance of 200-250 km. And then, and almost free, buy a ticket from the auditor to the nearest station for 3-5 grn. In Russia and Belarus this number does not take place: a ticket in coach seats, for example, the train Moscow - St. Petersburg or Minsk - Gomel cheaper cost of travel to perekladnyh электричках.

In the case of the bus transportation cost of travel directly related to overcoming the distance. Passenger wins the time, because if you trip on a route Kiev - Korosten (Zhytomyr oblast). 150 km to the train will cost 9.5 grn. and takes 3 hours and 20 minutes, the same way the bus can be overcome for 2 hours, paying a 27 grn.

Directorate of Railways, therefore, the outflow of passengers on bus transportation to some extent, even beneficial, as it will in the future to justify the abolition of EMUs falling demand. But in the long run, such a policy entails the abolition of the suburban railway traffic. Suffer from this, only passengers on the interest which allegedly bake the local authorities to block tariff increases for the passage of электричках. Therefore, the УкрзаліÐ·Ð½Ð¸Ñ†і aimed at reducing the number of routes, and commuter trains to become a signal to officials: socialism on the railways is the end.

wanted a better

in Poland and Russia in the early 2000-ies. Book of Railways has established with local authorities, transport companies, which have taken suburban railway-traffic. For such a position is necessary to go and УкрзаліÐ·Ð½Ð¸Ñ†і. But to begin to change the very concept of commuter services, - said Dmitry Podturkin, Head of Research Group Management Consulting Group. - You must enter a differentiation of services: to divide the bus into categories, high electric comfort, social and urban electric trains. Under each category of passengers is to be allocated to the rolling stock, and ideally - each category of passengers must maintain a separate company.

According to Alexander Ivanko, УкрзаліÐ·Ð½Ð¸Ñ†Ñ gladly would have paid in rent suburban trains to private companies, but so far no one has expressed willingness to engage in this kind of business. The only Ukrainian project of Urban Trains in Kiev is dead. Comment causes failure of the project abandoned and leadership УкрзаліÐ·Ð½Ð¸Ñ†і, and first person of the General Directorate of Transport KSCA. According to a source who asked to remain unnamed, the case stalled because of too high a price that railway monopoly appointed for the operation of their ways.

However, the establishment of transport companies would revive commuter rail transport in Ukraine. First, УкрзаліÐ·Ð½Ð¸Ñ†Ñ would be dropped with a huge financial load. In fact, on the basis of last year 85% of all damages Office (UAH 2.89 billion.) Was exactly on commuter trains. And, secondly, such a move would allow local authorities to regulate the routes of EMUs and to develop a grid tariffs.

desirous to make passengers pay for travel at least one station, the railways have set prohibitively high tariffs in suburban trains in the distance to 20 km. In Kiev after подорожания 28 May this journey will cost 4,24 UAH. While in Moscow and St. Petersburg, where the Suburban provide some transportation companies, tour the city on the train at a price comparable to travel on the subway.

We Railway lost most effective passenger train which has to travel through the city or to suburbs. But this is the primary function of suburban: fast - no traffic jams - and deliver the passenger comfort of the megalopolis in the suburbs. Here goes, that electric trains are unprofitable because they have either льготники or insolvent passengers. For УкрзаліÐ·Ð½Ð¸Ñ†і commuter carriage turned into a suitcase without a handle, which bear so heavily that it is not a pity-and-drop.

Railway parrot

Having been inherited from the Soviet-era electric trains, running at a distance of 250-300 km, УкрзаліÐ·Ð½Ð¸Ñ†Ñ gradually translates them into the category of trains of high comfort, which the passengers due to the bright coloring of cars called the parrots. Such rolling stock de facto amount to train long distance, and the price for travel to them - corresponding. It does not operate facilities, and the hare catch conductors in each car. If commuter trains increased comfort only to walk long distances, since 2005, УкрзаліÐ·Ð½Ð¸Ñ†Ñ increasingly puts them at peak hours at the most popular routes.

And they have?

in Russia and Belarus in the early 2000 - ies. have reformed suburban railway traffic. Russian and Belarusian Railways set tariffs in such a way that was beneficial to train on a trip to a distance not exceeding 150 km. In Belarus, the railroad entered the tight control over travel, this brigade conductors, supervisors accompanied clothes police, and from 2008 on the railway have been canceled all benefits.

in Russia went on the road to establishing commuter rail companies, which creates the OAO Russian Railways, together with the local authorities of a unit of the Federation. This company is easier to regulate tariffs, and easier for authorities to compensate for the losses on the transport of concessionary passengers. In parallel to paying passengers, the following of satellite cities in the metropolis, have been introduced Express Trains Sputnik passing without stopping those platforms, which usually comes a lot of beneficiaries, and free riders.
