PKP Intercity is not slowing down and continues its path of stable growth in the new year. In January of this year, a total of over 2.6 million people used the carrier’s services, which generated a growth dynamic of 28%. In domestic transport alone, nearly 600,000 more passengers traveled by PKP Intercity trains, which means a 31% increase compared to January of last year. Comparing data from recent years, this is the best result for January since 2012.
– Good results motivate us to develop our offer. We still intend to fight for the customer. We see further potential in the market for interest in our offer, especially among those groups for whom the train is not the first choice when planning a trip. We are particularly pleased that, despite the record offer in this timetable, the increase in the number of passengers is faster than the increase in our operational work and the number of trains launched. This means that we are still improving occupancy on our trains – says Jacek Leonkiewicz, CEO of PKP Intercity. – In the near future, we intend to focus, for example, on drivers or people traveling between smaller towns.
The increase in the number of passengers was greater than the increase in operational work. In January of this year, the difference between the growth dynamics of the number of passengers and the growth dynamics of work amounted to 2 percentage points.
