Open Market In Germany To DB Competition For The Italian Railway Company Italo
A traveler passes by an Italo high-speed train which arrives at Venezia Santa Lucia railway station in Venice, Italy, on November 16, 2025. Although ICE trains are seen as Deutsche Bahn's leading product, many passengers are frustrated by frequent delays and high fares. Meanwhile, new competitors enter the market, raising expectations for cheaper tickets and more reliable service. Both the state-owned Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (FS) and the private high-speed operator Italo (former NTV) intend to introduce modern high-speed trains in Germany.
