Poland moves up several spots in EU transport ranking

Poland has moved up several places in the EU's ranking of transport quality. In this year's ranking, published on Thursday by the European Commission, Poland is in 22nd place, tied with Lithuania. Last year it was in second-last place among the 28 EU countries.

The ranking compares the progress of EU states in 30 categories in the transport sector, using data from various public sources (e.g. Eurostat, the European Environment Agency, and the World Economic Forum).

“Polish consumers are increasingly satisfied with urban and air transport. The level of satisfaction with rail transport, which was the lowest in the EU in 2013, has grown significantly in Poland,” the Commission stated.

The Netherlands once again tops the ranking, with the best performance in 15 categories, followed by Sweden, Germany, and Austria.
