Rynek Kolejowy also interviewed the CEO of the newly created Lubuski Transport Publiczny, the Lubusz Voivodeship's idea for a train and bus operating company. The headline and lead float the idea that they could get started with the Lubsko and Międzychód lines that are being reactivated, though the topic isn't really expanded on in the article itself - and the position of LTP's CEO seems to be that it is currently more important to get timetables on the existing lines into shape, with a mininum being 2 h Takt on the local lines and 1 h Takt on the main lines. They are aiming receive the necessary safety certification for running trains by the end of this year and carve out maintenance space somewhere in Czerwieńsk - whether they manage a deal to take over the existing facilities from PKP CargoTabor or not.

The subject of cross-border connections was also broached, with the interviewd guy noting that "particularly Cottbus […] is an unappreciated destination" (connections there are expected to improve if KD's plans materialize: https://mastodon.com.pl/@HaTetsu/116438917153980057): https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/lubuski-transport-publiczny-zacznie-od-tras-do-lubska-i-miedzychodu--143526.html
