PRESS RELEASE

Slow and Expensive Infection Source

The Union for the Reconstruction of Romania - URR is thinking that the Minister of Transportation is making proof of an intolerable cynicism when is bragging about CFR as being one of the best companies in the world in the virtue of some obscure international quality prices. These have no value whatsoever as long as the Romanian trains, even the "fast" ones are nothing but slow and expensive infection sources.

Only because some irresponsible demagogues can spend out of our money huge amounts on CFR advertising while trains and stations are so filthy that those that care about personal hygiene are avoiding the waiting rooms and the toilettes. The traveler can not even have the consolation of admiring the view because in a national campaign managed in a catastrophic manner, where the wages though big are perfectly secured, none of the employees that is boring in stations has no reason whatsoever of washing the windows.

We sustain the train's modernization, but it is inadmissible that the few new trains to be used as image for the whole CFR, serving as PSD party propaganda. While this campaign is engulfing huge amounts of money out of the public budget a great part of the travelers have abandoned for some time CFR in favor of the private road transportation companies. These are offering civilized conditions and respect for the traveler, two of the elements the internationally awarded CFR doesn't give a thought.
