To go by train will be more expensive in the CR since 2009

According to the speaker of the Czech Railways (CD) the reason for ticket price increase are ever increasing price of electricity and especially of oil. The prices willl be levelled up at the end of the year 2008.

Those who will be affected the most are those who use kilometric banks. The little book containing coupons for 2000 km rises its price every year, now the price of 1 kilometre rises to almost 1czk. Anyway the prices of regular tickets will be increased, too: I.e. the ticket which ables to use all the train connections will cost 440 czk, 50 czk more than now.

A number of various advantageous tarifs wil be simply abandoned. The CD speaker Kabala commented on it, that such a growth wasn’t possible to expect, as the last week the oil went to unrecorded 32,30 czk/l. The machines that don’t run on electricity run on oil.
