We are prepared to travel by train instead of plane, because rail is 7.7 times more climate-friendly than air travel for national connections,&#8221; the organisations state in the letter. However, predictability and reliability are crucial for business travellers and in the year of the UEFA European Championship 2024, less than two thirds of Deutsche Bahn&#8217;s long-distance trains were on time.<\/p>\n<p>The letter is addressed to Members of Parliament from the transport and budget committees. It calls on the current and next federal government to provide sufficient funds in the 2025 federal budget for the modernisation, digitalisation and expansion of the rail network, to simplify and secure the long-term financing of the railways by introducing a rolling rail fund over the course of several years and to ensure that rail tolls are significantly reduced and not increased.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eceee.org\/all-news\/news\/news-2024\/european-business-travellers-call-for-german-rail-investment\/\">ECEEE<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/146891\/\">European business travellers call for German rail investment<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[696,1038,5514,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-135576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-europe","tag-germany","tag-rail","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135576\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
