The Railways leadership wants to streamline the business and increase revenues. For this, the administration is about to modernize the trains. More than eight hundred of the 3500 wagons will be repaired. The repair of a unit costs 30 000 lei.
The company wants to develop the freight transport and make the tariffs cheaper. The employees are also expected to be optimized.
At the same time, 15 stations in which the passenger flow is small will be closed because this generates losses of over 10 million lei yearly. All of the proposals are part of an action plan to improve spending, presented by the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure.
The total debt of the Railway Company reaches 370 million lei, and about one hundred million are salary arrears. However, CFM head Anatol Topala says revenues are rising. In 2017, receipts increased by 13 percent, and this year is forecast a 30 percent increase.
