Local public transport (SPNV) and long-distance public transport (SPFV) are regarded as high-quality, high-performance connections both between regions and for international development. In view of the increasing use of the railways, they offer the opportunity to tap new potential in rail transport and thus new target groups. Both the federal and state governments have mentioned the great importance of rail connections in their coalition agreements.
