The Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and Transport (BMDV) recently made it clear in a tweet that the German Rail transport more attractive and implement more efficient cross-border capacity management. Minister Volker Wissing stressed how important it is that the Deutschlandtakt remains possible in line with the new European legislation.
We want the #RailTransport more attractive & better cross-border capacity management. It is important that the #GermanyTact remains possible with the new European legal regulation. The "dimension is taken into account from the beginning," says @Wissing. #TTE pic.twitter.com/HYVpVYbOjz

Deutschlandtakt as a central pillar
The Deutschlandtakt, a central project to improve the punctuality and reliability of German rail traffic, provides for a timetable structure that enables seamless coordination of train connections. The program is intended to optimize not only national but also international rail connections and is therefore in the focus the current efforts of the BMDV.
New European legal regulations
In view of new European regulations on railway policy, the question arises as to what impact these will have on national transport projects. Wissing stresses that Germany must consider the European dimension from the outset in order to ensure that the Deutschlandtakt can continue to be implemented within the framework of EU requirements.
Cross-border capacity management
Another goal of the BMDV is to improve cross-border capacity management. This is to be achieved through improved cooperation with neighboring countries and through the use of modern technologies. The increased international coordination should help to avoid bottlenecks and make rail transport more efficient overall.
Increasing the attractiveness of rail transport
The aim of the BMDV's current initiatives is to make rail transport more attractive for citizens. Modernising the rail infrastructure plays a key role in this. Rail transport is to be strengthened as the preferred mode of transport through better connections between cities and regions and through increased punctuality and reliability.
These measures are part of a comprehensive strategy to make rail transport in Germany and Europe fit for the future and to significantly increase the share of passenger and freight transport by rail. The ability of the national plans to be integrated into the European transport strategy remains of central importance.
