German Transport Minister Volker Wissing emphasized that Deutsche Bahn must enhance punctuality for long-distance trains, while also revamping its administrative and managerial strategies to improve profitability.
Wissing outlined the necessity for company executives to draft a precise plan by 2027, wanting actionable measures and quarterly updates to ensure they meet set targets.
The transport minister highlighted growing challenges in the rail network since the Euro 2024 competition, noting that declining punctuality, staff strikes, and modernization delays are critical issues.
The modernization effort, although aimed at improvement, is expected to cause lengthy closures and diversions across Germany's rail system over the next few years.
