@Jonas_Bostrom@mastodonsweden.se @jon@gruene.social Trafikverket is, apart from budgets, the major barrier to reasonable train experience in Sweden, it seems to me. If I were a politician I would argue for an immediate reseparation into road/rail/air agencies again, so that mode costs and shares can be meaningfully brought back under control, and such that people who hate trains and want them to fail don't get to decide about their operation and infrastructure.

@pettter@social.accum.se Yes, and no. It's complicated. While Trafikverket certainly makes things complicated, it can often be because of political reasons. And when Trafikverket was created, it wasn't just a merger of Banverket and Vägverket, parts of the old agencies were did not become part of Trafikverket. @jon@gruene.social
