It is also fundamental for our passengers, as surveys have shown us. There are many factors at work behind punctual operation. A whole bundle of measures has contributed to keeping punctuality at an internationally very high level in the last few years.

  • Good planning of travel, connection, stopping and turning times
  • Expansion of central operational management improves production control and communication to passengers
  • Optimisation of the maintenance programme and well-maintained infrastructure facilities
  • Systems for malfunction diagnosis, which reduce operational malfunctions
  • Optimisation of the incident management with multi-functional, mobile service teams
