Romania's Governance Program 2026-2028: Travel subsidies to shift to electronic system

The Romanian government's Governance Program 2026-2028, submitted to Parliament, proposes maintaining travel facilities for students and pensioners but transitioning them to a single electronic system. Compensation for rail and local public transport will be based on actual passenger numbers and service quality, with penalties for non-compliance. This signals a policy shift towards efficiency and digitalization, though details on implementation and impact remain unclear.
