The EU plans to develop high-speed rail networks by 2040, improving travel times between Bucharest and Budapest, and Bucharest and Sofia. Dan Motreanu emphasizes the need for connections beyond capitals to enhance regional connectivity. The European Commission aims to reduce travel time significantly, with Bucharest to Budapest taking 6 hours and 15 minutes, and Bucharest to Sofia 6 hours. The initiative focuses on infrastructure development, digitalization, and standardization of trains. The European Parliament recently adopted a report advocating for accelerated high-speed rail development across the EU.
