Risk analysis is a process with a detailed identification of risks, determine their range and examines the interaction of these risks. Each process or human activity are influenced by many risks. As well as in rail transport there are many risks which hare accrue from the operation. Risk is defined as the chance that something will happen what will affect the goals and is measuring by results or estimate. We can also risk defined as the product of the likelihood of an adverse event (phenomenon) and consequences (outcomes). On one side is the risk connected with the hope of achieving a good financial results, but on the other side with the danger of business failure that brings losses. The aim of this paper is the proposal of a tariff taking into account the risk from unoccupied capacity of passenger trains. Pricing of selected risk we will eliminate this adverse event.

The paper deals with analysis of the development of performances in freight rail transport in comparison with the development of gross domestic product as the main indicator measuring the economic performance of the country and on the other hand the performances in passenger rail transport in relation to the development of the average monthly wage as one of the most important indicator characterizing the living standard. The change in demand for transport services is analysed with respect to the change in the price of the ticket in passenger rail transport and also the change in the price for transport of one tonne of goods in freight rail transport.
