The images captured in the IR 1582 train set have sparked many comments from Romanians who use this alternative transport system and who would like at least a minimum of conditions for the money they pay for the ticket.
CFR Călători's reaction: "The lining of the IR 1582 train running on the Constanța - Bucharest North route has been sanitized"
As I promised, I am back with CFR Călători's position regarding the conditions complained of and presented by the father of the two children.
Let's take them one by one: the conditions in wagon no. 1.
"The lining of the train IR 1582 that runs on the Constanța - Bucharest North route was sanitized before the dispatch on the run in the technical preparation group of the Constanța Wagon Overhaul. The objective assessment of the cleanliness of a train set can only be done when the train is parked at the platform for dispatch on the run, at the initial station, later, along the way, maintaining cleanliness depending on how certain passengers understand or want to keep the state of cleanliness. An internal investigation has been launched for the reported situation regarding the non-functionality of that toilet."
The poor condition of the furniture.
"Regarding the upholstery of the armchairs in the carriages, we state that this is one of the main elements that degrade at a rapid rate in the process of operating passenger trains due to their faulty use. Although CFR Călători periodically carries out operations to replace worn or damaged upholstery, the degree of damage is much greater compared to the existing possibilities and the replacement of the upholstery cannot be done after every race made. We note that CFR Călători worked with a limited budget for almost the entire year 2023 in the context where the budget of revenues and expenses was only approved in December."

“Regarding the general service tariffs in public passenger rail transport, they were updated in December 2023 by increasing them by the inflation index of 8,8%, for all passenger rail transport operators in Romania , in accordance with the provisions of the public service contract approved by Government Decree and signed with the Railway Reform Authority (ARF).”
