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 competition between operators in the public tender in ordering process of train paths in long-distance rail passenger transport is very significant. The partial liberalisation of the rail market in the European Union was already underway in 2010, when all European railway companies with the necessary licenses gained access to railway infrastructure. One of the current objectives of the common transport policy laid down in The fourth railway package is to open up the market for national rail passenger services in all Member States from 2019.In 2009, the EU Regulation No. 1370/2007 came into force, which sets out the selection procedures for the award of contracts in public rail transport. There are two forms of contracts for transport services in the public interest, either by tendering the competition for traffic performance, or by directly entering the selected railway company. The aim of this article is to analyse steps of the Slovak government in the first public tenders to provide subsidized transport of a selected line and to determine conditions for this tender. This is a significant moment in the railway market in the Slovak Republic, preparing the opening up of the market for domestic long-distance passenger rail transport.
