Se refiere a relaciones de tráfico (origen/destino). Por ejemplo, una relación de tráfico es: Madrid-Barcelona, otra, Madrid-Valencia….Por lo tanto, se refiere a 60 “relaciones” que conectan orígenes y destinos.
My Spanish client has written the following in English:
In 2012, 22 railway and intermodal operators received operations compensation for approximately 60 relations with origins and/or destinations in Switzerland.
In English, in the transportation industry, would we use the word relations or relationships or another term altogether?
Many thanks,
Juliette

I would use *connections*, as we're talking about the train connections between different places/cities.

Excellent train connection between Barcelona and Madrid.

: the problem with this is that in railway terminology a connection is a change of trains.......eg http://www.rail.co.uk/uk-train-travel/rail-connections/euros...

You might also consider this, for example as used in "Intercity Link" (see ref.).
So you'd have the Madrid- Barcelona link, etc.

Andy Watkinson
: Could you please explain where you get "parientes" (an unconnected Spanish word) from? The question is Spanish to English and it's about transport.

Good observation Andy!Should read RELATIONS /RELATIVES then judging from the english version from his spanish client

Taña Dalglish
: Really????? "Relations/relatives" have nothing to do with the question, whether in English or Spanish (Spanish says: Por ejemplo, una ***relación** de tráfico es: Madrid-Barcelona, otra, Madrid-Valencia). This is not about "people".

Elizabeth Joy Pitt de Morales
: They're talking about a "relación de tráfico", not a person. The answer should be in English. "Se refiere a relaciones de tráfico (origen/destino). Por ejemplo, una relación de tráfico es: Madrid-Barcelona, otra, Madrid-Valencia". Did you miss it?

Stop being a blind follower!Una relación de parentesco is what I get from the clients version in English.Where is the spanish version?From which context did you arrive at your so called relacion de trafico?? You sure missed it izabel!e.g means example???

Lisa McCarthy
: Nonsensical. The poster states that "Se refiere a relaciones de tráfico (origen/destino)." What has that got to do with family relatives???? // 'Poster' is the person who posted the question. 'Relatives'=family members.
