Calculation of duplication indicators of the route network at the passenger transportation range
Introduction. Modern transport systems of regional (suburban) passenger transportation face the problem of excessive route duplication between rail and road transport, which leads to irrational use of resources, increased operating costs and decrease in the quality of public services.

Modern transport systems of regional (suburban) passenger transportation face the problem of excessive route duplication between rail and road transport, which leads to irrational use of resources, increased operating costs and decrease in the quality of public services.
