The Deutsche Bahn is under pressure to present a renovation concept by 2027 to address issues of punctuality, utilization, profitability, and personnel productivity. The federal government has allocated additional funding and established a new infrastructure division.
The closure of the Riedbahn between Frankfurt and Mannheim until mid-December is part of the company's efforts to address losses in freight and long-distance transport as well as structural improvements. In addition, around 30,000 jobs are expected to be cut in the coming years.
The punctuality rate in long-distance transport was only 62 percent in July. The call for a renovation concept includes measures such as attractive pricing and targeting new business customers to improve train utilization.
The focus is not only on infrastructure renovation but also on reviewing investments outside of it. The aim is to achieve a significant improvement in punctuality and reliability during the infrastructure renovation.
The implementation lies with Deutsche Bahn, which is expected to deliver and achieve better punctuality in the short term.
