Tatarstan plans to create a unified transport service system
In the Republic of Tatarstan, it is planned to introduce an integrated transport service system
In the Republic of Tatarstan, it is planned to introduce an integrated transport service system. It will unite all types of passenger transportation: inter-municipal, municipal, interregional and children, including river and rail transport. This information was presented by Deputy Minister of Transport and Road Services of the Republic of Tatarstan Marat Hisamutdinov at an open meeting of the profile commission of the Public Council under the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, held within the framework of the COMTRANS-2026 forum in Kazan Expo.
According to the deputy minister, a single platform will allow collecting information about carriers, routes, fleet and schedules, as well as automating the processes of planning, monitoring the fulfillment of obligations, calculating subsidies and preparing reports. The project is conceived as a centralized digital control center for all passenger transport in the region. Buses, trams, trolleybuses, trains and ships will work in a single bundle.
The deputy minister noted that now information about each mode of transport is scattered, because of which the schedules are not coordinated, on some routes there is overcrowding, on others there are empty flights, and the real load is practically not controlled.
When creating the model, it is planned to use the positive experience of Naberezhnye Chelny and Nizhnekamsk, where bus and tram parks are already combined into a structure with a centralized dispatch service. This led to a significant increase in efficiency and a reduction in the number of dispatchers while expanding the control area. This approach is now expected to be extended to the entire country to create a more coordinated and passenger-friendly system.
Hisamutdinov stressed that such changes will allow Tatarstan to enter the federal network of multimodal transportation, supervised by the Unified Transport Directorate. It is engaged in the development of transportation using different modes of transport and single ticket technology to improve the transport accessibility of regions.
