Annotation Problems of rail transportation organization in the suburban traffic are covered. In particular, interaction of the main participants – the regional authorities and the suburban companies is pointed out. Relevance of this article doesn\'t raise doubts as possible failures and failures in realization of suburban transportations which are capable to create intensity in society and to aggravate a social and economic situation in an economic complex of any region of the country. The measures taken at the federal level for normalization of work of a suburban complex and satisfaction of interests of the regions’ population are designated. The aspects of the existing tariff setting technique are shown. The comparative analysis of losses of suburban passenger companies, working at the territory of the Russian Federation, is carried out. It is also noted that three participants of the market have an impact on tariff formation: operators, consumers and regulator. Each of the parties has a definite purpose. Key place of the article is the analysis of the suburban companies’ activity where the structure of financing by subjects is also presented. Noting that modern methods of tariff setting consider only two parties of passenger traffic process – carriers and passengers, excepting interests of authorities which play a key role in the formation and regulation of a tariff, for preservation of tariffs for the population at the solvent level, stimulations of demand for transportations, and also reductions of expenses of a carrier due to the maximum involvement of paperless technologies of sales of travel documents within tariff campaign by authors introduction of system of the differentiated tariffs depending on ways of registration of tickets and the used channels of sales are offered. The analysis of expected financial result from the decision on differentiation of tariffs on standard and paperless channels of sales taking into account change of structure of acquisition of travel documents is carried out. The carried-out analysis of actual problems of suburban railway communication allows to draw a conclusion that for the solution of these problems creation of such model of tariffs’ formation which would consider interests of all parties is necessary, and as a result the decision would allow to optimize the purposes of participants. Achievement of this purpose and ensuring productivity of work of suburban railway transport is possible by creation of mechanisms of interaction of all participants of this process – both customers, and performers of this service
