As I can see transit time is counted from Kazakhstan border. To compare the transit time between different services we need to compare starting point in China like Xi’an, Chengdu and final point like Łódź, Malaszewicze or Duisburg. Now the information about transit time is not clear. What is the total transit time we still don’t know and have to guess.
