*Demand for train travel is on the up in Europe. Train travel grew by 25 percent between 2022 and 2023. To better serve those passengers, a new integrated single European booking system is set to be launched before the end of 2026, providing rail users with a one-stop shop to map out and pay for their travel schedule.*
*Platforms such as Rail Europe and Omio do give passengers some international rail travel options, but they still require multiple tickets, with the journey broken into sections. Instead, the new single-ticket proposal would present the possibility of booking one single pan-European ticket for a journey, even if it crosses various international borders, with digitisation simplifying the whole business of rail travel.*
Long overdue! More convenience would increase train travel. The next issue to tackle is cost, which will go down if integrated into a Single Railway Area.
Yeay! I want this so much!
Long overdue. But I guess better late than never.
Very good
that’s going to be fun to see, I hope it works out.
France with SNCF old my beer, and my sandwich jambon beurre, and my strike, and my “I’m not happy, I don’t know why, but I’m not happy”
It would be fantastic! Specially me who I’m at 2 h train from the border.
This would be a game changer
germany would like a word
If this was the focus of one presidency rotation of the EU and it got done, that presidency would be looked upon as an immense success.
I hope this will be a preparation for an EU ticket like the “Deutschland Ticket” we have in germany today. One price, one ticket and you have access to every public transport in every region/city/country other than high-speed trains, where you still need an extra ticket in germany at the moment.
This is so needed! Currently, while you can see and include French trains in the Deutsche Bahn App for example, you can’t even pay for them anymore. It was possible a few years ago, but I think SNCF withdrew from whatever cooperation agreement they had with DB.
Please also introduce mandarory DAB+ radio channels.
No more keeping a dozen train apps on the phone?
Could have done it in the 70s.
Deutsche Bahn will introduce it by 2050. But only on selected routes.
Great initiative, provided it will help to reduce ticket prices. Because to be fair it’s not having to buy several tickets that prevents me from travelling by train most of all
Yes! Please do!
Good luck to the IT squad that’s going to have to integrate 20+ different national backends in 20+ languages!
Funny to read this while I’m sitting in a train next to a handbook titled “VBB-tariff in plain language”
aha ahhoz sok sikert 😂
*Cries in Greece*
Good news.
USSR had a *computer-based ticketing system* since 1972 and it’s still used in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Lithuania (for services to Belarus and Russia, now temporarily discontinued.
Long overdue
