The comission is planning changes to train travel in Europe to make it less of a headache for passengers.
-Single booking tickets that work across different operators.
-Passenger safety nets such as reroutings, reimbursements and compensations.
-New rules for operators and platforms to ensure fair pricings and route options.
I know it’s not perfect, but I kind-of feel that Interrail is already pretty close. I know it’s meant for tourists and some operators have stand-alone booking systems, but it’s universally accepted and pretty effortless for the end user.
Interrail is a very good idea, but way too expensive; unless you perfectly plan out your trip you’re most certainly better off flying or paying for normal train rides. It can definitely be cheaper, but you’re going through 2 months of planning out the proper travel plan for that to happen.
