We Are Already Late with Rail Baltica. It Has No Future 0 18

Independent Saeima deputy Alexander Kiršteins believes that we are hopelessly late with the Rail Baltica project, and there is no longer any necessity for it.

"There is no justification for the expensive construction of Rail Baltica in either the Saeima or the government.

There are no real calculations of cargo or the number of passengers.

In Estonia, 90% of passengers will travel to Tartu or Pärnu, not to Warsaw and Berlin.

Why do we continue to mumble instead of speaking clearly about this?

We are late with Rail Baltica; it has no future.

Artificial intelligence and wireless trains in Europe will compete with railways, as they will deliver goods to doorsteps without transshipment.

It is cheaper to add one lane in each direction to the highway," the deputy wrote on the social network X.
