ALLRAIL’s Armand Duthil participates in 3rd Florence Rail Regulation Conference, co-organised by the Florence School of Regulation and Centre de Recherche Droit Dauphine

At the 3rd Florence Rail Regulation Conference, experts highlighted the effects of open access competition, noting a 15% frequency increase on the Paris-Lyon route.

In the Czech Republic, competition has led to fare reductions of up to 44% and increased ridership, while Poland’s lack of competition in regional rail calls for a reevaluation of public service obligations (PSOs).

Presentations also debated the varying application of EU regulations and the potential impact on market liberalization and fair competition.
