Ukrzaliznytsia plans to continue modernizing suburban rolling stock, which has been used by more than 14.5 million passengers since the beginning of the year, a quarter of whom are beneficiaries. It is quite logical that in most cases people choose the railway, because it is safety, stability, a clear schedule without traffic jams, and also the ability to travel even during air raids. That is why active state participation is necessary for the systemic renewal of suburban trains. After all, only by combining efforts can we provide Ukrainians with high-quality, convenient, affordable and safe transportation
