Formation of an efficient system of legal regulation of the transport services market

Abstract

The article aims at developing approaches to the formation of an efficient system of legal regulation of the transport services market. It is established that to create an efficient system of legal regulation of the transport services market, it is necessary to formulate and consolidate the main provisions of the national transport policy. It is proposed to provide for certain specifics that combine state regulation and supervision of transport activities with the contractual principle of the transport services and works provision. It is determined that, according to the general rule, transport obligations should be based on the freedom-of-contract doctrine. In this case, the parties will always have the autonomy of will in deciding whether to enter or not into a contractual relationship, except for the cases where the services are provided by public transport and mediated by a public contract.
