Then there is a need to integrate regional railways with local public transport! Goals of the integration: • Use the capacity of the railways in the metropolitan transport • Improve the price/value ratio for the railway passengers (1 ticket instead of 2) • Encourage the inhabitants of the metropolitan area to use public transport • Improve the modal share of the public transport Transport and Economic Growth – An International Perspective
Twofold approach to the railway integration • „common ticket” – contract with regional railway operators Koleje Mazowieckie and Warszawska Kolej Dojazdowa (Warsaw Commuter Railway) on honouring ZTM fare • founding of own communal railway operator Szybka Kolej Miejska sp. z o.o. (Rapid Urban Railway Ltd) using ZTM fare only Transport and Economic Growth – An International Perspective
SKM Warsaw – a communal train • independence from the other old-fashioned railway companies; • common tariff with other transport means in the city (buses, trams, metro); • decisions concerning vehicles and their equipment are taken by the City Hall; • modern and safe trains thanks to a stable long-term contract with the city (in-house contract in line with 1370/2007); • competition on the tracks.

Economic and social profits • Fast growth of the railway ridership inside the City of Warsaw and in selected suburbs: • Railway is the fastest mode to get to the city center for at least a 500k inhabitants; • Railway is the fastest connection between the two river banks and the major railway stations. • New projects: • Railway link to the airport to be finished before EURO 2012; • Adoption of freight tracks for passenger traffic.
