Networking international railway transport

Improving inter-country train services

Description

Networking international railway transport involves establishing and enhancing cross-border rail connections, harmonizing technical standards, and coordinating schedules and customs procedures. This strategy aims to facilitate efficient, seamless movement of goods and passengers between countries, remedying issues such as logistical bottlenecks, incompatible infrastructure, and regulatory barriers. By fostering cooperation among national rail operators and authorities, it supports economic integration, reduces transit times, and promotes sustainable, competitive alternatives to road and air transport.
