Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for public passenger transport has decreased significantly in many European countries since March 2020. Due to several measures and restrictions adopted, this decrease was particularly pronounced in international long-distance transport due to several restrictions and measures adopted. A significant decrease in demand could also be observed on the international rail transport route Bratislava / Vienna – Prague in the form of the decline in the number of transported passengers on this railway line. Therefore, it is very important and necessary to propose various measures to increase the demand and achieve a significant long-term increase in the number of passengers in long-distance rail transport not only on the mentioned transport route. This paper analyses the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on passenger transport usage frequency and proposes solutions to improve the quality of the timetables. It deals with the long-term and systematic concept of international long-distance passenger rail transport on the Prague – Bratislava / Vienna and back in the post-pandemic period. For this purpose, specific scientific methods are selected, which can be applied in order to rationalize and optimize train timetables.

“…The Department of Revenue and Customs' customs and excise division is one of four divisions responsible for the entire administration of indirect taxes, including the collection of taxes on traded goods and the facilitation of international trade. The Customs and Excise Act imposes Customs Duty on imported goods, whereas the Excise Tariff imposes Excise Duty on some locally manufactured items and other imported commodities that fall under the Excise Tariff, even if they are entered under Trade Agreements (Lakhmetkina et al, 2019).. The Customs Tariff Handbook, which is published as a statutory instrument, specifies the applicable rates of Customs and Excise Duties.…”

This research is about, “The innovation of new dry ports in Zimbabwe: the Critical Success Factors (CSF) and fault lines.” Zimbabwe wanted to start four new dry ports across the country and researchers wanted to help by carrying out research on critical success factors to make these dry ports a success, based on success stories elsewhere, and avoid having another white elephant or disappointment. Researchers used the survey questionnaire method as well as face to face interviews, expert panel interviews at universities, observation and literature review in this research. Findings revealed that dry ports required total connectivity to strategic national institutions and corporates like warehouses, bonded warehouses, airports, Ministries, roads, Customs and Excise Department and railways, and these must all fully embrace e-government/smart supply chain and be strategically linked to all importers and exporters as well as critical trade and related government departments. This is a new concept in Zimbabwe but quite old elsewhere. Systems and institutions have improved a lot but still needed further improvement in Zimbabwe to march SADC/COMESA competitors like South Africa, Zambia, Botswana and Mozambique. It was found that critical skills, ports, Customs and investment infrastructure in Zimbabwe needed to be improved as well as processing and turnaround time to match best practices in SADC/COMESA and globally. A One Stop Shop for investment was there but not fully operationalised to cover all transactions, is about partly operational. Delayed deliveries and wrong documentation were experienced sometimes due to port and Customs delays or transport and loading delays. Zimbabwe had made great strides no doubt and was marching on for stardom and big achievements. This paper is futuristic and will be mostly based on best practices globally which Zimbabwe can learn from and start successful dry ports that really add value to the national economy, and avoid toxic bottlenecks and cost overruns. It was time Zimbabwe started to seriously adopt smart blockchain technologies like South Africa to improve efficiencies and turnaround time. One of the biggest frustrations and costs in the value chain was customs delays, fuel shortages and power outages. Something must be done long-term to address these bottlenecks. Dry ports were just like any other business and were concerned about ease of doing business, national competitiveness, country of origin effect, and national image. A business was a business regardless of sector, as they all used the same benchmarks and standards, and deliverables were achievable in a conducive national business environment which generated maximum profits to shareholders and taxes to the government whilst creating thousands of jobs, giving a world-class logistics service, being a national prestige project, national pride and point of reference, giving wide product choice and prosperity to the nation, and operating with environmental protection and ethics in mind. Zimbabwean politicians, the population at large, NGOs, and industrialists needed to get this message as clear as possible.

“…Polish transport companies noticed that in order to be active in the EU market, it is necessary to better adapt to the requirements of recipients, provide better-quality and cost-effective services, as well as invest in modern information and communication technologies (Lakhmetkina et al, 2019;Šarkan et al, 2013). The dynamically changing situation on the road freight market in the European Union requires constant adaptation to the expectations of service recipients and taking actions allowing for effective competition with enterprises from other EU countries (Kalina et al, 2017).…”

The main purpose of the research is to identify differences in the factors determining changes in the return on capital (ROE) of transport and warehouse enterprises in individual voivodeships in Poland. The research used the ROE decomposition method which was justified by mathematical aspects. It paid attention on the decomposition of relative differences shaping the changes in this specific indicator. The substantive basis is the modified 5-factor Du Pont model. This method allowed for analysing relative changes in three decision areas. These areas encompass operational, financial, and tax management. The findings confirmed that the differences in individual voivodeships compared to the entire section H in Poland result mainly from financial management. However, the examined differentiation was not dependent on tax management. The presented research results can represent the basis for the strategy of corporate management in section H in positioning against competitive enterprises in Poland. The research also allows for a macroeconomic analysis of the phenomena occurring in the transport as well as warehousing sector, especially in terms of changes in their profitability.
