Schnieder told RTL and NTV told the top manager’s massive criticism only for the “problems and challenges” of the Deutsche Bahn. The company deals with a deeper analysis of its structures and societies. It is an “overall complex”. “At the end, this also includes the question of which staff we do,” said Schnieder.
SPD and Union had agreed such a procedure in the coalition agreement. According to Schnieder, the focus of the evaluation is the development goal of making the train reliable, attractive and on time. The Federal Minister of Transport plans to present his strategy by the end of August at the latest. Meanwhile, Schnieder reacted with astonishment the supposed financial gap at Deutsche Bahn. Railway chief Lutz sees a further financial requirement of 17 billion euros by 2029 – the Federal Minister of Transport could not understand these figures. “We have provided investments in the train of around 107 billion euros by 2029. In my opinion, this is adequate,” said Schnieder. The numbers will be looked at closely.
