Железная дорога Молдовы
According to the company’s press office, the journey took place on 13 November on a modernised diesel train, prepared by specialists from the Chișinău depot. It was attended by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development, Vladimir Bolea, the Director General of Moldovan Railways, Sergiu Cotelnic, and company specialists.
The new route will provide residents of nearby towns and villages with an alternative means of transport to the capital. It will simplify daily journeys to workplaces, educational institutions and other key locations.
Another advantage will be access to Chisinau’s Eugen Doga International Airport. The connection between Revaca station and the airport is planned to be provided by road transport, which, as noted by the Chisinau Railway Company, will reduce journey times and help avoid traffic jams. In addition, car parks for private vehicles are planned to be built near stations along the route.
The launch of the new route will see the Chisinau–Ungheni service removed from the timetable. Moldovan Railways attributes this decision to falling demand and high operating costs. It also notes that this will enable the company’s operational resources to be utilised more efficiently.
In this regard, the company states that it continues to explore new solutions for the development of passenger rail transport and for adapting services to the needs of Moldova’s residents.
