Problems and prospect of the transport system development in Russia

The Russian transport system is a vast net of roads and railway systems, waterways and air routes. The transportation system of Russia has a different development level in its regions, reflected by the communications routes index of overall length and density, which varies in more than ten times in different territories. The transport-logistic system is poorly developed. Among the main disadvantages of the Russian transportation system are the low technical and technological levels. The development of the state economy is impossible without resolution of the main transport system problems. The development of the transportation complex is a first-priority task, which affects the growth of the Russian economy and the improvement of the living standards of the population.
