The purpose of the article is to identify the tasks and problems of city transport systems in modern conditions. Urban transport should solve the following tasks: equal access to the population to vehicles, the possibility of planning the time of traveling inside the city, ensuring environmental safety from the use of vehicles, creating the conditions for the availability of transport services at their cost, security and comfort, as well as ensure transport services for the business subjects at minimal economic costs. In the process of applying analytical research methods, urgent problems of urban transport were identified and areas of solving these problems were proposed. Electric transport is really economically more profitable in large cities and in urban agglomerations with high population density, when there is no urgent need to move often over long distances. The total benefits from the transition to electric vehicles are largely higher than the costs. Due to the improvement of the environmental situation, not only the quality of life of the population increases, but the capitalization of all production and public facilities in the country is growing.
