🚆 Your rights should travel with you.

We’re working to make rail journeys across the EU fairer, proposing stronger passenger rights when combining tickets from different railway operators, including rights to:

✅ Reimbursement
🔁 Re-routing
🆘 Assistance
💶 Compensation

Currently, these rights don’t fully apply here, and we are seeking a fix.

Got any ideas or views to share?

About needed. Also when we sometimes need to split bookings even domestically.

@EUCommission that sounds great, we all like rights.
You know what else would be great? Not giving up our PRIVACY HUMAN RIGHTS and democratic fundamentals on *Oct 14th 2025*.

Sell tickets from A to B, not for seat X in coach Y on train Z.
Then, run trains every hour. At least.
No compensation needed if you can just hop on the next train.

@EUCommission Trains on time rather than being delayed due to pointless border controls would be really nice, too.

@EUCommission
Please also make sure that the rail operators publish their schedules, tickets and delays in open formats through open channels so we get some free competition on finding, displaying, selling and combining journeys. People might actually travel more by rail that way...

@EUCommission c'est marrant d'avoir contraint l'ouverture à la concurrence des compagnies publiques des décennies avant de se demander comment gérer ça.

@EUCommission

Rights are nice ... provided we can buy tickets in the first place. Some operators apparently figured out they could just not allow you to buy possibly combining ticket in a single transaction (by not showing some trains in offers, or showing them but not offering to book them).

@jon any advice on what else could be said on that call for evidence?

Stop privatising public transport everywhere. Make the Netherlands and other governments bring back proper national railway services with adequate funding.
