Abstract: Abstract Warsaw agglomeration rail transport comprising of tram and metro lines ensuring transport within Warsaw and suburban railway connections ensuring transport between a number of satellite cities and main Warsaw railway stations can be rearranged to achieve much better rail transport offer without enormous financing. The article proposes creation of a new services and points necessary investments showing that much better rail transport service is not only technically possible but also economically reasonable and feasible in relatively short time. Safety challenges associated with the proposed rearrangement are pointed and described together with the ways to meet them. The proposed solution allows operational improvement together with not only keeping rail transport high safety level but even lowering risk associated with different types of failures during extended rail service in future.
