SUOMEN LÄHIJUNAT on Thursday said it has taken ownership of 11 commuter trains previously owned and operated by the state-owned railway company, VR, making it the first private company to own and operate passenger rail services in Finland. The company was established last year in order to deliver regular rail services to two million Finns.
It happened in France and it’s been terrible. Not all train traffic should be for profit, especially small poorly frequented lines in rural areas.
