Abstract

It is recognized that one of the most important sectors of the modern megacities economy is their transport system (including transport system of such a rapidly developing megacity as Moscow). The transport system of the Russian capital is a complex structure which includes numerous different types of transport, and is characterized by high congestion, high level of passenger traffic, that indicates not only the positive impact of transport on the socio-economic system of the city, but also the appearance/occurrence of various negative consequences, such as overloading of roads, deterioration of road conditions, suboptimal traffic, unworked routes, difficulties with dispatching regulation of public transport. The Moscow Government systematically solves the problems of the transport complex. At the same time, it is worth noting the significant role of educational organizations (transport education is actively developing): provision of qualified personnel, organization and conduct of various research projects. However, even here there are challenges and opportunities.
