Study on passenger and freight rail transport services’ prices to final customers

Final report

Metapodaci o publikaciji

In response to the pressing need to reduce CO2 emissions and address the challenges of climate change, the European Union (EU) has implemented a series of ambitious policies and targets. One key focus area is the decarbonisation of the transport sector, with railways having been identified as a crucial lever in achieving these goals due to their relative low CO2 intensity. Yet, despite the high efficiency of railways, more can be done to harness its full potential. To utilise railway capacity to its full potential and respond to climate objectives, the EU has undertaken a process of opening the railway markets to foster greater competition. Competition in the rail market can take two forms: open-access (OA) competition (competition-in-the-market) and Public Service Obligation (PSO) contracts through competitive tendering (competition-for-the-market). Freight rail is almost exclusively organised through open-access competition, while competition in the passenger railway market is organised through both types. As highlighted in this report, competition in railways seems to trigger an increase ridership and brings about significant benefits to society.
