This article compares the impact of road and railway transport on the environment. A great amount of resources of the European Unionâs funds are assigned for transport and environment. It is necessary to overcome some obstacles for attaining the money, i.e. administrative demands, to have own sufficient funds, to overcome the activities of NGOs and there is also not a satisfactory process of transition to the postindustrial, knowledge-based society of services with a completely changing structure of economics. The influence of the NGO was proved within two studies; the main findings are that NGOs are closely bound with administration and cause problems with information service and secondly that the delay in completion causes economical and environmental losses. The railways have to find the limits of efficiency in passenger transport and freight transport and transform its technical equipment and service to be efficient by all means. We also pointed out that the potential capacity of roads is in general higher than that of the railways with the typical weight of goods trains and liners.
