A senior figure within the Social Democratic Party (SPD) parliamentary group, Armand Zorn, has expressed expectations for a significant shift in strategy for Deutsche Bahn. He emphasized the need for demonstrable, rapid improvements to the rail network, speaking to RTL and ntv broadcasters.
Zorn stressed that passengers should immediately perceive a positive change, noting the desire for a railway system that becomes a cornerstone of mobility rather than a constraint. While punctuality remains important, he added that economic efficiency should be prioritized alongside it.
Ultimately, the goal is to restore profitability and ensure a financially sustainable future for Deutsche Bahn. Recognizing the crucial role of personnel, Zorn highlighted the importance of employee involvement in driving positive change and revitalizing the rail operator.
