Suburban passenger transportation is an integral part of the transport system, ensuring population mobility and contributing to the economic development of regions. The article analyses the current state of passenger transportation by road on suburban routes, identifies the main problems and determines ways to solve them. The key factors affecting the quality of transport service are studied, in particular, disruption of the traffic schedule, overcrowding during peak hours, irregularity of flights and a low level of integration with urban routes. Particular attention is paid to the technical condition of rolling stock, infrastructure problems and transport safety. It was found that a large part of the bus fleet is outdated, which causes significant environmental, technical and operational difficulties. The issue of tariff policy and the need to introduce a single electronic ticket system are considered, which will facilitate the convenience of transfers and increase the efficiency of the transport system. Factors that complicate the integration of suburban and urban transport, such as different tariff systems and the lack of coordinated traffic schedules, are identified. The article proposes a set of measures to improve suburban passenger transportation, in particular, updating rolling stock in accordance with modern environmental standards, optimising the route network, modernising the infrastructure and introducing modern transport management technologies. The importance of strengthening control over transportation safety and combating illegal carriers is determined. The need for a comprehensive approach to reforming suburban transportation through state regulation, increasing the investment attractiveness of the transport industry and using the latest digital technologies is emphasised. The implementation of these measures will contribute to increasing the level of comfort, safety and efficiency of passenger transportation, which in the future will ensure the sustainable development of the country’s transport system
