European Union proposes single ticket for train travel

The European Commission has proposed new rules to simplify train travel between EU countries.

"Many passengers encounter obstacles when combining different transport services. Booking multi-route trips involving tickets from different companies can be complex," says the advert.

Passengers will be able to find, compare and purchase combined services from different rail operators on a single ticket, which can be purchased in a single transaction on the platform of their choice.

In case of missed connection on trips with multiple operators, passengers with a single ticket will receive assistance, rerouting, refunds and compensation.

In addition, platforms will be required to present offers in a neutral manner, including screening for greenhouse gas emissions whenever possible.

The Commission will present the proposed regulations to the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament for consideration.
