BDZ Remains Bulgaria's Public Railway Carrier for 15 Years Bulgaria's government decided Wednesday that the state-owned railway company BDZ would be the country's public railway carrier for the next 15 years. BDZ Jsc was the only company bidding for the public railway carrier tender, and will thus remain the only company operating express and passenger trains in Bulgaria. Each year Bulgaria's state budget allocates a certain subsidy for the BDZ in order to help the company keep its generally low prices as well as its discounts for students and retirees, and to maintain its unprofitable sectors.
