The article discusses the types of urban electric transport used in Belarusian cities, gives a detailed classification and comparison of available vehicles. Various options for increasing the share of environmentally friendly transport through the use of electric buses and trolleybuses are considered, an assessment and a comparative analysis of the options are given. Features of the drivers' work planning and drawing up of the schedule taking into account safety requirements are considered.
A methodology for assessing the efficiency of urban passenger transport has been developed, taking into account the development of electric vehicles.

Keywords: urban electric transport, electric bus, hybrid bus, charging electric buses, safety, schedule, workplan
