Nightjet
Nightjet (stylised as nightjet) is a train category operated by Austrian railway company Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) for overnight passenger train services. It was introduced in December 2016. Nightjet services replaced some City Night Line services after Deutsche Bahn announced it would stop operating night train services,[1] a change that DB put into effect on 11 December 2016.[2]
Nightjet operates in Austria, Germany, Italy and Switzerland, there are cooperations to other countries (Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia) that operate under the label Nightjet Partner.
Nightjet trains offers beds in sleeper carriages (Nightjet's most comfortable service category), couchette carriages, and seated carriages. On certain connections, cars can also be transported on the train. Bikes can be transported in a bike transport bag, or on some connections also in special bike racks.
Environmental organizations welcomed the decision of ÖBB to extend their night train network because night trains are the most climate-friendly way of travelling longer distances in Europe. ÖBB has declared that passenger numbers are growing[3], and is planning to buy new carriages and modernize existing carriages.[4]
