The High Speed Railway and its impact on fighting social exclusion due to transport inaccessibility was the subject the a debate in Karpacz attended by representatives of the local government, PKP, PKP Energetyka, the government and the market regulator. The plans for the Central Communication Port and the expansion of the railway network are far-reaching. They will also be crucial for eradicating the phenomenon of social exclusion due to transport inaccessibility.

- The concept of the hub and spoke model and the Central Communication Port will certainly make our country better and more closely connected. Higher speeds will translate into shorter travel times between cities. With a carefully planned offer, this will be another impulse for development. The construction of new railway lines will allow to increase the capacity of the existing and currently modernised ones, which will allow long-distance and agglomeration traffic operators to diversify their offer for passengers. Łódź is the best example of this. It is also important to have well planned bus routes to transport passengers. High-speed railway can in several ways help us deal with social exclusion caused by traffic inaccessibility - argued Deputy Minister of Infrastructure, Andrzej Bittel, who is also a government plenipotentiary for counteracting transport-related social exclusion.
