If there are interesting possibilities, further ÖBB connections abroad could be added.
For the first time in another country, ÖBB is operating a route in local and regional traffic by means of public service orders. Since yesterday's timetable change, the federal railways have been on the road together with the Slovakian ZSSK between Bratislava and Komarno, which is around 100 kilometers south-east, the railway announced on Monday.
If there are interesting opportunities, further ÖBB connections abroad could be added, it was said when asked.
The award to ZSSK and ÖBB comprises a contract term of two years and a transport performance of 1.2 million train kilometers per year. The new route will be operated by the same trains that are used on the cooperation route from Vienna via Marchegg to Bratislava.
“If there are tenders that are of interest to us and are close by, we look at them very carefully,” said a railway spokesman when asked by APA whether the ÖBB wanted to take up further connections abroad beyond long-distance traffic.
