rail transport policies

Rail transport policies govern how trains are planned, operated, and maintained to ensure safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. They include regulations for rail safety standards, infrastructure investments, and timetable management. Policies also address freight and passenger services, aiming to improve connectivity, reduce congestion, and promote the use of eco-friendly transportation. Governments may subsidize rail development or regulate prices to make rail travel more accessible. Overall, these policies balance economic growth, safety, and environmental goals to support a reliable and sustainable rail network.
