		Germany’s transport minister, Mr Wolfgang Tiefensee, says DB will be allowed to operate the infrastructure for a limited period, although he did not specify how long.

	PRINCIPAL VOICES ~ Transport
		The need to increase people's mobility by providing safe, efficient, cost-effective transport, while at the same time minimizing the negative impact of that transport on health, lifestyle and the environment, is the key transport imperative of our time.
		Even the rail and shipping sectors, traditionally the least environmentally damaging and least congestive modes of transport, are having to grapple with the issue of sustainability, albeit in their own unique ways.
		Lack of investment, for instance, is causing the railway system in many developing countries to slowly collapse, with disastrous effects both for those countries' economies, and for the safety of their citizens.

		Some routes still have three rails and stations have either a high and a low platform on different sides or one two-level platform which does not allow the use of longer trains.
		Lines are laid with traditional flat-bottomed rail, laid on wooden sleepers placed on ballast, which is believed by the operators to be more economical and easier to maintain than grooved rail in concrete which is preferred by many 'new generation' light-rail operators.
		However, the system is designed as a whole to minimise conflict between road and rails, which means that interruptions are kept to a minimum.
