1 Passengers' perspective on the connectivity of the Central and Eastern European Member States and especially on their cross-border sections TRAN Committee Hearing on December 2, , Hamm Passengers' perspective on the connectivity of the Central and Eastern European Member States and especially on their cross-border sections János Vincze // EUROPEAN PASSENGERS FEDERATION //

2 The European Passengers Federation founded in 2002 the European umbrella organisation of national and regional passengers organisations financed by its member organisations representing passengers views at the European level dealing with all modes of public transport maintaining the Journeys Without Borders report since member organisations 20 countries

3 Introduction The accession of Central and Eastern European countries to the EU and especially the Schengen Area has created a unique opportunity for cross-border commute. It became much easier to cross the intra-european borders when travelling by car or plane, and these modes of transports has been thriving ever since. Crossing the border by means of public transport has, however, not become easier and in some cases the situation even worsened.

4 The regular passengers perspective on efficient crossborder connections A cross-border connection highly useable by passengers should have the following characteristics: Services at regular intervals Integrated timetable with both countries Service at least the nearest major town on both sides of the border instead of only the border station Pricing on par with domestic services for a comparable distance Seamless integration of operators if more than one operator is involved, especially in customer care

5 Aspects needing improvement: Infrequent services at inconvenient times Sezana (SL) Villa Opicina (IT) - trains to Italy: 10.05, trains to Slovenia: 10.29, Nyírábrány (HU) Valea lui Mihai (RO) - trains to Romania: 10.06, 12.06, trains to Hungary: 8.37, 16.37, Valga (ET) Lugaži (LV) - trains to Latvia: 4.55, 11.54, buses daily - trains to Estonia: 10.21, 15.50, buses daily

6 Aspects needing improvement: Disproportionally high prices for cross-border journeys Debrecen (HU) Nyírábrány (HU), 30 km adult: 3.6 EUR, concessions: 1.8 EUR Nyírábrány (HU) Valea lui Mihai (RO), 8 km adult: 11 EUR, concessions: N/A Valea lui Mihai (RO) Oradea (RO), 66 km adult: 4.2 EUR, concessions: 2.1 EUR Oradea (RO) Biharkeresztes (HU), 15 km adult: 11 EUR, concessions: N/A Biharkeresztes (HU) Berettyóújfalu (HU), 17 km adult: 2.4 EUR, concessions: 1.2 EUR All prices are for round-trip travel. Domestic portions are marked in red.

7 Rail crossings with reduced service levels since EU / Schengen accession Hungary Slovakia Rajka - Bratislava, Bánréve - Lenartovce, Salgótartján - Filakovo Hungary Romania Biharkeresztes - Episcopia Bihor, Lökösháza - Curtici Latvia Lithuania all cross-border lines Greece all cross-border lines Italy Slovenia Villa Opicina - Sezana Estonia Latvia Valga - Lugaži Hungary Croatia Magyarbóly - Beli Monastir Czech Republic Slovakia all cross-border lines

8 Good examples Austria Hungary/Slovakia (Vienna area) 5 rail crossings to Hungary and 2 to Slovakia with regular passenger services, several cross-border bus lines Hungarian and Slovakian border stations included in Austrian domestic fares special fares available from other stations Czech Republic Germany 7 rail crossings with regular passenger services Slovenia Hungary new cross-border rail line financed mainly by the EU Italy Austria cross-border services reintroduced after receiving EU Regional funding

9 Conclusions Regional services on the two sides of the border should be coordinated Domestic fares should be extended up to the border crossing If an operator receives public funding, it should be made a condition that cross-border services are maintained EU funding should be available not only for cross-border infrastructure development, but also the maintenance of services in the inaugural period (3-5 years) Central and Eastern European countries have strong ties to each other and a properly integrated transport network would be beneficial to all
