Abstract:At this stage of development of intercity passenger transportion, there is a need to take into account fluctuations in demand for the services of carriers, which takes place over time. These fluctuations in demand are mostly tied to the onset of a period of nationwide or religious celebrations, the onset of a period of mass holidays, sports and cultural events of state or interstate significance, and so on. Therefore, such existing fluctuations in demand of passengers for the use of public routes in long-distance communication should be taken into account when planning the activity for the management of passenger traffic. In order to meet the needs of passengers for transportation, taking into account the available fluctuations in demand, certain decisions can be taken on the changes in the parameters of the components of the transport system. Such changes include changes in the number or type of rolling stock, timetables, changes in traffic patterns, the introduction of temporary routes, restrictions on the purchasing power of passengers with the help of changing the cost of travel, and so on.
