Article: DB InfraGO AG
DB InfraGO AG is the public service infrastructure company of Deutsche Bahn AG. It was created on December 27, 2023, from the merger of DB Netz AG and DB Station&Service AG.
With more than 61,000 employees, it is responsible for Germany's roughly 33,400 kilometer rail network, including all the rail infrastructure assets needed for the network to operate and 5,400 stations. DB InfraGO aims to lay the foundation for more rail transport and to achieve transport policy objectives: doubling volume sold in passenger service, growing rail freight's market share from 19% to 25%, and implementing the Germany-wide integrated regular-interval timetable – for people, for the economy and for the environment.
