The country has a strong rail network with 13,669km of rail, 1,560km of which is electrified, and 7,589km is double track. The Agency for Rail Safety is the regulating body of the rails and the rails are owned almost exclusively by the government. Carriers for both freight and passengers rent access on the lines on a fee-for-service model. This has led to freight haulers to prioritize extremely long trains to reduce the fees they have to pay, which has become a standard practice and expectation. Motorists, both personal and truck traffic have lodged complaints to either invest in non-grade crossings, or to regulate train length. | ||
