As I predicted, RegioJet in Poland started aggressively raising the prices on routes that are actually financially viable for them

Warsaw - Kraków and Warsaw - Gdańsk tickets for 30 PLN are over, now it's often 80 PLN for the cheapest offer, which is more than PKP IC's 2nd class on the same route

Extremely competitive pricing remains the case on the Warsaw - Poznań route. For now.

And ofc RJ remains competitive in terms of travel time and comfort, but the price increase is painful

I wonder how the situation will change once their trains are no longer running with 4 and sometimes just 3 coaches, but like in Czechia – with 6 to 8

But for that they will need more infrastructure in Poland than a few rented side tracks for rolling stock that regularly has to go back to Praha-Smichov for maintenance
