Evaluation of the Development of Running Time on Selected Longdistance Lines of Railway in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Globalization affects a number of economic processes, one of which is also transport. The interconnection of economies, whether from a regional or transnational point of view, increases, among other things, the demands of passenger rail services. It is crucial for passengers how long the journey between two places will take. Due to the development of the infrastructure, the running time gradually decreases and the quality of the services provided gradually increases. The data for the analysis were primarily drawn from the annual reports of the most important carrier in the Czech Republic - České Dráhy. The annual report is a significant accounting document informing about the corporate economic phenomena. The aim of this article is to evaluate the development of running time when using the rail passenger services between selected cities in the Czech Republic between 2009 and 2018. In the article, those cities of the Czech Republic are selected, where the connection is provided by high quality trains. The conclusions of the analysis show that the most significant reduction of running time in the last 10 years occurred between Prague and České Budějovice or Prague and Cheb. Paradoxically, in case of the fastest SuperCity Pendolino connections, running time between Prague and Ostrava was reduced by only 8 minutes. However, SuperCity services remain the fastest links in the country with an average service speed exceeding 118 km/h. On the other hand, line connections that have experienced the highest reduction in running time continue to show the lowest service speed.
