The Role of Operator Services in Transportation Management and Responsibility for their Improper Performance as a Prerequisite for the Multimodal (Combined) Passenger Transportation Development

The article scrutinizes the role of the operator in organizing passenger transportation in direct multimodal (combined) passenger transportation, civil law instruments of transportation management as well as responsibility for improper performance of obligations to transport passengers and provide such services. Laws in Russian do not take into account a global trend aimed at assigning responsibilities for organization of direct mixed traffic transportation to the operator that assumes responsibility for performance of the whole complex of services for passengers and baggage transportation in direct multimodal (combined) traffic, which is criticized by the author. In addition, the author insists that the powers of a passangers and baggage multimodal (combined) transportation operator should include, in addition to organization of transport services, planning, accounting and control, analysis and regulation, i.e. operator services for the transportation management.
