The market operates with a number of other carriers operating international routes and they do it quite well.
In August, the company announced the introduction of its route network to four new lines, two international Warsaw-Vilnius, Szczecin-Berlin and two national Szczecin-Gorzow Wlkp.-Poznan-Wroclaw and Opole-Wroclaw-Krakow. In addition, increase the frequency of calls to the most popular routes, for example. Between Wroclaw and Krakow will be 33 courses during the day.

We’ve made trips have become financially feasible and enjoyable. We are very pleased with the acceptance of our offer in Poland – says Brian Souter.
The carrier is not afraid of competition from either the turn or low cost airlines.
– The better the quality of public transport , the more people will use it – says the head of a low-cost carrier bus. -Don’t Postrzegałbym rather other means of transport as a threat. Our offer is unique, we create its own market. Our main competitor are private cars.
The company does not plan to restrict calls in connection with the completion of modernization on some railway lines. On the contrary, intends to raise the level of service and intensify plying on selected routes (for example, from Warsaw to Gdansk.)
– most obsługiwałbym part of the rail, as is the case in the UK, where we are partners with Virgin and we call on the West Coast Main Line, the main line railway in Great Britain linking London with the regions of the West Midlands, North West England, North Wales and southern Scotland – says Brian Souter.
In his opinion, the Polish national railway transport should also be a place for private carriers.
– If there was such a possibility, for sure we would consider it – provides Souter. – Our skills in management and marketing skills can bring huge benefits for Polish railways. In the future I would like to see in Poland developed public transport system, which would contain all the necessary elements: transport by rail, air, good roads. All this makes the country is functioning properly.
