The aim of this diploma thesis is a summary of current knowledge and experience and analysis of the development of liberalization of the rail passenger transport in the Czech Republic and a detailed description of the current situation and comparison with the transport session Prague - Ostrava, where 3 railway carriers are competing for the favour of passengers. In the first part of the thesis is described historical development of the railways in the world and in the Czech Republic. The following section discusses the legislation relating to rail transport and its liberalization, both from the perspective European as well as from the Czech. The widest third part shows efforts, which have already taken place for tenders for the operation of railway transport and the steps that led to this state. The final part deals with the situation of the rail transport in the transport session Prague - Ostrava, where, as a single line in the Czech Republic, competition among rail carriers was launched.

The subject of the diploma´s thesis is the comparison of the particular private rail transport policies in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. There are specific, both economic and non-economic impacts of a free fare in Slovakia and slightly different policy of fare discounts in the Czech Republic, identified and consequently analyzed in the thesis. Comparative analysis between both policies is conducted right after. All the impacts are measured and evaluated in the context of particular government budgets, both national and private railway transporters and different segments of users, who are mostly affected by the movement. The analysis of these extraordinary government policies is conducted based on selected publicly available indicators and data from several different sources (official statistics, agreements, annual reports, tariffs comparison, financial statements, granted subsidies etc.).
