Europaweite Bahnreisen: EU will Ticketbuchung vereinfachen | ifun.de
Summary
The European Commission proposed new rules to enable cross-border rail bookings so travelers can find, compare and buy multi-operator journeys with a single ticket under the banner 'one journey, one ticket, full rights.' The draft strengthens passenger protections for single-ticket journeys, including support, alternative transport, refunds and compensation for missed connections. It also requires neutral presentation on ticket platforms, may allow sorting by greenhouse gas emissions, and seeks fair, non-discriminatory agreements between carriers and platforms. The proposals now go to the European Parliament and the Council before any rules take effect, and they would impact rail operators, independent ticket sellers and travel-ticketing software providers.
