The EU aims to establish high-speed train connections between capitals, with Romania needing to improve its infrastructure. Investments could reach €350 billion. The European Parliament has called for modern rail construction to facilitate trains traveling at speeds of at least 250 km/h. Romanian officials emphasize the urgency of completing feasibility studies to access EU funds, as the country currently lacks even medium-speed rail. The goal is to reduce travel time significantly and enhance competitiveness. The plan includes connecting Bucharest with Budapest and Sofia by 2040, while addressing the need for fair taxation between train and air travel.
