European passenger rail travel is on the rise due to new routes and increased competition, especially under the English Channel. The European Commission is prioritizing a seamless booking experience across Europe. Apostolos Tzitzikostas, the new commissioner for sustainable transport and tourism, plans to introduce a single digital ticketing system by December 2024. This initiative aims to enhance efficiency and passenger rights, with consultations starting in 2025 and proposed legislation for the European Parliament by 2026. Recent statistics show a 7% increase in cross-border rail traffic in 2024, underlining growing demand for train travel.
Connecting European cities by high-speed rail is a top priority, and a single digital booking system for European rail will be presented before the end of 2024.
With a single ticket, passengers will link different train operators and have their rights protected if something goes wrong during the journey.
