Control teams are present in passenger trains, railway stations and airports, acting to maintain health safety measures among passengers.

"CFR Calatori asks passengers not to get on the train, if the ticket office informed them that there are no more seats. The recommendation is also valid for persons holding subscriptions/authorizations. In order to have a predictability of the transport request, including those who have subscriptions/authorizations and in order to be able to size the train capacity to the required number of seats, we recommend all passengers to buy tickets in time," the same source shows.
