EU calls grow to improve rail booking as 61 percent say they gave up on taking trains
The European Union is moving to simplify cross-border rail travel, but criticism is growing that international rail tickets still have limited coverage and insufficient protection for transferring passengers. Environmental group Transport & Environment said the EU’s proposed passenger package is progress but inadequate for meeting climate goals. In a survey it commissioned, 61 percent of long-distance rail users said they abandoned train travel at least once because of complex booking procedures.
