The spokesperson of České dráhy Vanda Rajnochová pointed out that “the key conditions for the resume of international lines will be the transport conditions of transport not only in the Czech Republic but also in the neighboring countries, as well as the interest of passengers.”
Uvolňujeme restrikce i v dopravě. Navrhnu vládě od 11. května zrušit zákaz provozování mezinárodní drážní a autobusové dopravy. Pro překročení hranice tak bude možné využívat také autobusy nebo vlaky, které dopravci vypraví.
