From Global Railway Review; February 4, 2019
České dráhy – the main railway operator in the Czech Republic – has reported that in 2018, passengers travelled a distance of 8.225 billion kilometres on its services; the furthest in the history of the joint-stock company and a record-breaking figure since 1994.
Miroslav Kupec, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of České dráhy, said: “During 2018, we managed to address new customers and altogether 179.23 million people used our trains for their journeys. This is an annual growth by more than 4.5 million. The transport output grew substantially as well. The value of 8.225 billion passenger kilometres is a new record for the joint-stock company since its establishment in 2003 and the best figure since 1994.”
