Internationally, suburban passenger transportation is considered a planned unprofitable enterprise. The article deals with international practices of organizing financial support for the suburban passenger complex by way of subsidizing passenger transportation via cargo-based (as exemplified by India) or direct government subsidies (as exemplified by Germany). The German experience is recommended as the one most suitable for adapting to Russian conditions.

The development of passenger transportation in Saint Petersburg requires continuous improvement of the services offered, which goes hand in hand with construction or acquirement of a new fleet and its modernization. The augmentation of the ship companies’ vessel fleet is impossible without involving borrowed funds, hence the main factor for the growth of the passenger water transportation market in Saint Petersburg is the widening of the business planning horizon.
