In this Coffee with the Editor, Railways Africa Magazine interviews Adj. Prof. Dr. Andrea Giuricin, CEO of TRA Consulting, at the Railway Safety Regulator (RSR) Conference in Cape Town. Dr. Giuricin shares his expertise on global rail reform, the complexities of open access, and the importance of adapting reforms to each country’s unique context.
Dr. Giuricin highlights how countries like Italy, the US, and China have navigated rail reform, with Italy’s high-speed rail network driving a modal shift from short-haul aviation to rail, and the freight-dominated systems of the US. He also touches on Africa’s rail landscape, focusing on the progress in Tanzania and Kenya, particularly in opening access to private operators to boost freight transport.
The conversation covers African rail reform, highlighting Tanzania, Kenya, and the DRC, where significant progress has been made in opening up rail networks to private operators.
