Differences in the Effects of Fare Subsidies in Rail Transport: A Comparison of the Czech Republic and Slovakia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this paper is to compare the impact of the government’s decision to intervene in the pricing of rail passenger fares between the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. Both countries are already among the advanced economies that should support the market environment. However, over the past five years, the governments of both countries have cracked down on rail fare pricing and bus transport, respectively. Based on our findings, it was found that in the Czech Republic the change in the fare affected 45.8% of the population and did not bring a significant increase in the volume of transport, in Slovakia only 15.5% of the population was affected by the registration obligation. In Slovakia, there has been a significant increase in transported passengers and passenger-kilometers in the years following the introduction of free fares, 15.2%. In both countries, state budget spending increased, with taxpayers bear the burden. This only had a short-term benefit for the beneficiary population.
