   Czech Railways, the owner of the tracks, is 1) a government-owned   
   company and 2) a monopolist, so I'm not sure if there's even such a   
   thing as "market price" in this case. But no, Leo Express and Regiojet   
   don't get any discounts (why the hell should they, they're competitors   
   of the owner of the tracks) and if some random Martin Novák registered a   
   railway company Nováktrans, bought some 854 series diesel motorcars and   
   started a passenger service, he'd pay the same price.
