The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many aspects of our everyday lives. Governments have taken a number of measures to limit the spread of the pandemic, which has had a direct impact on daily mobility, the choice of mode of transport and the functioning of public transport. These measures were implemented in practice immediately, without conceptual systematic preparation. This paper is focused on the proposal of measures to improve the quality and efficiency of the transport process in railway passenger transport in the next period of the pandemic. In the process of equipping the passenger with a travel document during the pandemic, new technical and technological elements are implemented in railway stations and trains to reduce the risk of virus transmission with the aim of protecting the health of the passenger and the carrier's employees. By introducing more modern passenger equipment systems in railway passenger transport in the form of automation and digitization of processes, it is possible to streamline and improve the transport process quality.
