Abstract
The paper discusses the processes of development of public transport in Rostov-on-Don, one of the cities of Russia. The basic directions of policy of municipal authorities on reforming public transport are subjected to the analysis: development of a management system of urban public transport, regulation of mobility providing equilibrium between a level of transport loading and level of service of the transportation system, maintenance of guarantees of qualitative service by public transport for those social layers of the population who have no vehicles, and optimisation of a routing network of public transport.
