Profit for the company, loss for the state

Railway networks established by the state at enormous expense are opened up to the private sector with profit rates of up to 20 percent. According to the new regulation published by the president’s decision, companies will now be able to carry out passenger transportation of high-speed trains, high-speed trains, main lines, and regional lines on the railways used only by TCDD.

AVAILABLE WITHOUT BID

Companies that will be determined by bidding or directly by the government will operate trains and transport passengers for money. However, in exchange for doing this work, all company expenses such as energy, personnel, maintenance, repair, and rent will be covered by the state, and a profit of 10 to 20 percent will be given. In this way, the companies that receive the offer will be able to earn large amounts of money without running any risk of loss. In addition, if the government wishes, it will be able to give the work with honey to any company without even opening a tender to determine the company.

The new system, called Public Service Obligation (KHY), will be implemented on lines in which no rail operator is commercially interested. The Ministry of Transportation will work on determining the lines for the transport of passengers by high-speed train, high-speed train or main line and regional line, and the President will decide whether or not to open the lines. It is understood that the income per ticket to be obtained will be less than the sum of the cost of operation and the profit of 10 to 20 percent that will be delivered to the company, and the lines will be delivered to the companies in this context. Since the company that will transport passengers on the state train lines will cover all its expenses and make a profit from it, no matter what the conditions, all the losses will be borne by the state.

Salary, fuel and government rent.

If the state were to take passengers by train, it would only cover the costs, but it would have to pay a profit because it had companies that did it. The government will cover all costs for energy (diesel, electricity), personnel on board, maintenance, depreciation or rent, infrastructure use, ticketing, and general administration that will arise while the companies operate the train. In addition, companies will be able to pay salaries of up to 3 times the minimum wage to their staff, and this will be covered by the state.
