THE FUTURE
It is impossible to consider what the immediate future may hold without reflecting on 2020 ’ s disruption . With so much turmoil and negative impact on revenue , it ’ s almost inevitable to see a return to ‘ normal ’ as being a significant achievement . And when you heard the numbers involved for a company like Deutsche Bahn , it ’ s easy to understand why a return to status quo would be a win . “ We expect to make a loss around six billion euros [ for 2020 ] and another six billion euros over the next two years . So , this is something like 12 billion euros in losses compared to the plan we had in 2019 . We will be quite happy if we get back to that level first and then talk about new plans ,” says Grothe .
“ But , we strongly believe that the number of passengers and commuters will increase rapidly by 2030 . This is still our assumption , and that ’ s why we invest heavily in our track and we invest heavily in our rolling stock .
