Fewer IC trains in Slovakia

Fewer IC trains in Slovakia

State run intercity trains ceased their operation after 22 years on Sunday. For the past four years, this kind of service had been run as a commercial product independent from state sources as of 2012. Nevertheless, they were a losing venture with a €3.3 million loss in 2012 and €1.15 mil in 2015. As of Monday, passengers can travel from Bratislava, west Slovakia, to Košice in the east of Slovakia via 6 intercity trains from the private rail company Regiojet. The state-run IC wagons will now operate as fast trains. The state owned Železničná spoločnosť operates 16 of them.
