Abstract. The article outlines possible ways to solve the scientific and applied problem of defining and measuring the quality criteria of public passenger transport services, taking into account the European Union experience. The main method of achievment this goal is the development and implementation national standards for defining quality criteria for passenger transport services and their measurement systems. They are based on identical translations two European standards: EN 15140:2006 and EN 13816:2002. Standarts provide the definition eight main criterias of service quality and three main methods of measuring these criterias. The paper presents examples of measuring certain criterias. These standards are intended for using by all modes of land transport (road, rail, urban electric and subway). The relevant parts of these standards have be used during designing appropriate systems for a particular mode of transport, The basic scheme of actions concerning management of quality of services of public passenger transport is developed. Extended examples of methods for measuring the quality of public passenger transport services are provided. The practical significance of the results are: national quality standards will be allowed; clear rules of framework agreements the public procurement procedure for transport services are established; the quality of transport services will improved. This is especially important in the context of the administrative-territorial reform Ukraine, when the bus route network changes.
