The state-owned enterprise, Railway of Moldova (CFM), has tested a new rail route along the Straseni – Chisinau – Revaca – Sangera corridor. The test run was carried out on November 13, using a modernized diesel train prepared by specialists from the Chisinau Depot.

Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development Minister Vladimir Bolea, CFM Director General Serghei Cotelinic and company specialists participated in the test.

According to CFM, the new connection is meant to provide residents of the communities along the route with an alternative means of transport to the capital. The route is expected to facilitate daily travel to workplaces, educational institutions and other points of interest.

One of the advantages announced by the company is access to the Eugen Doga Chisinau International Airport. The connection between the Revaca station and the airport is expected to be provided by road transport, which, according to CFM, would reduce travel time and allow passengers to avoid traffic congestion. In addition, parking areas are to be arranged near the stations along the route to facilitate combining private and rail transport.

The launch of the new route entails removing the Chisinau–Ungheni diesel service from the timetable. CFM justifies this decision by citing declining demands on behalf of passengers and high operating costs, noting that this will allow the company’s operational resources to be used more efficiently.

The company says it is continuing to analyze solutions for developing passenger rail transport and adapting services to travelers’ needs.
