Infrastructure

Train-path demand is expected to develop positively overall in 2024. Additional traffic in regional rail passenger transport and the service expansion in long-distance rail passenger transport are leading to an increase in sales. Slight growth is expected in freight transport. However, due to the only slowly recovering economic situation, this is weaker than in previous forecasts. This is countered by revenue losses from rising construction volume in 2024, including in the course of the general modernization of the Riedbahn.

With regard to the number of station stops, a decline is expected for 2024 – mainly due to construction in the infrastructure. Nevertheless, slightly higher revenues from station stops are expected due to price factors. Rental income in stations will continue to develop positively and will be slightly above the level of 2023.
