Estonian Railways fulfils both economic and social functions. One example of its social role is ensuring the availability of railway infrastructure for passenger transport, which directly impacts regional development in Estonia and is one of the country’s national priorities. On the other hand, frequent passenger train traffic reduces railway capacity, slowing down freight trains and significantly lowering the competitiveness of freight transport, which is Estonian Railways' primary source of revenue. The company’s mission is to find a balance between these different interests, considering both public needs and sustainability. Achieving this balance requires the expertise of Eesti Raudtee employees across a wide range of fields.
