Nationalization of railways

Nationalization of railways refers to transferring ownership and operation of railway services from private companies to the government. This process aims to ensure better coordination, improve service quality, and make transportation more affordable and accessible for the public. By bringing railways under state control, the government can plan and manage the system more effectively, address regional needs, and invest in infrastructure without prioritizing profit. Essentially, it shifts the railway industry from private hands to public ownership, emphasizing service and national development over individual profits.
