V originále
The railway reform implemented on 1.1.1994 has led to intensified competition in regional rail passenger transport in Germany. The market shares of the monopolist DB Regio fell by around 59% by 2020 due to the intense competition. According to the liberalization of rail passenger transport in Europe, some large foreign state railway companies were able to enter the German market with subsidiaries and gain market shares. For passengers, this development is positive, as railway companies have significantly expanded their services (e.g. new vehicles with higher comfort, shortened interval times). Overall, passenger numbers have increased year after year. Due to further transport tenders, which usually have a term of up to max. 15 years, there is an opportunity for the railway companies to achieve further growth. The main obstacle for new transport contracts is not having sufficient operating staff to start operations.
