While no final decision has been taken, the political signal has been that the Ministry seeks a smooth transfer of GoCollective’s contract to another operator, with uninterrupted train operations during the transition period. The Minister also underlined that a transfer would involve significant costs, as that would imply the ministry purchasing GoCollective’s rolling stock.
Marianne Bøttger, CEO of GoCollective, comments:
“We have been in ongoing dialogue with the Ministry of Transport and have clearly set out the challenges we face as a train operator. We welcome the focus on passengers’ needs, whatever solution we jointly reach. For more than 20 years, we have operated public transport in Denmark and built a reputation as a robust and reliable partner — and we intend to remain so.”
