Rail traffic: Report: Railways invests millions in clean trains and stations
More teams, new standards: The head of the railways wants clean trains and stations to become part of everyday life. What specifically is supposed to change.
The Deutsche Bahn plans to invest an additional 210 million euros by 2030 in cleaner stations and trains, as well as increased security. According to CEO Evelyn Palla, a package of measures initially launched as an emergency program will be continued permanently. As part of the effort, 200 football fields' worth of floor space has been cleaned and 17,000 square meters of graffiti removed.
The company has also deployed 44 mobile teams to repair station damage and increased its daily cleaning workforce to 220 employees. ICE trains will receive extra hand cleaning in addition to standard washing.
