In the transportation sector, the canton has moved to establish a regular railway line between Bihać and Bosanska Otoka, scheduled to run through December 31, 2026. This follows a successful summer tourist train project that carried over 17,000 passengers. Officials are currently considering expanding the tourist route to include Martin Brod, Štrbački buk, and potential connections to Croatia and Bosanski Novi.
