The act of constitution of the company Rodalies de Catalunya was held this Monday at the Palau de la Generalitat, with the presence of President Salvador Illa and the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente. This formalization represents the definitive step towards the transfer of service management.
“"This new company is a paradigm shift in the management of railway transport in Catalonia."
As detailed during the event, Rodalies de Catalunya is scheduled to begin its operations in 2027. One of the first routes to be managed by the new entity will be the R1 line, which connects the Maresme and the Selva regions.
The agreement between the Catalan Government and the Ministry of Transport seeks to improve the efficiency and quality of the commuter rail service, a key service for the mobility of thousands of citizens in the metropolitan area and the Girona regions.
