Abstract

Within the framework of the common transport policy is the quality of rail transport services and customer satisfaction with the services very important. Currently, customers are more educated and increasingly demand higher quality and in the case of unfulfilled requirements they expect compensation. Insufficient quality has a significant impact in terms of railway sector costs. One of the main key factors in construction the quality and competitive rail transport is a punctuality of trains. It is measured by comparing the planned time schedule of a train with its identification number and the actual driving time. The paper is aimed at assessing the possibility of eliminating delays of the passenger trains in conditions of Slovakia. These delays are eliminated by the introduction of a compensation mechanism between the railway passenger operator and the infrastructure manager. The fee helps to accurate monitoring and elimination of the reasons of delays. It is also incorporated an element of regional disparities, where the amount of compensatory fee is determined based on the type of train and its final destination.
