European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen promised single-ticket rail travel across the continent in her re-election pitch to the European Parliament, but a similar initiative in her previous five-year term never saw the light of day.
I imagine it’s not an easy system to fix. But god knows I’ll be happy if they manage to.
I feel like this is exactly the kind of issue that can only be fixed by the EU putting their foot down and commanding all rail operators to connect to the same system. Ideally even based on open standards so that other parties can make the tickets available as well.
Sure, it wouldn’t be done in a day, but at least there would be movement. I don’t even need the single ticket, just at least give me a single place to buy them all in a single transaction.
