Today the European Commission is publishing the #PassengerPackage - legislation to fix railway ticketing

[jon@gruene.social]

"Our vision is very clear," says Tzitzikostas. "One journey, one ticket!"

If only it were to work like that

#PassengerPackage

[jon@gruene.social]

Noooooooo, ah what he is saying is not what the Regulation says, not clearly anyway. #PassengerPackage

[jon@gruene.social]

NJOOOOOOAOOAOOAOOAOO #PassengerPackage

[jon@gruene.social]

Ah this is such a mess #PassengerPackage

[jon@gruene.social]

This is a mess #PassengerPackage

[jon@gruene.social]

This is not going to work. #PassengerPackage

There is a SINGLE TRANSACTION obligation to get rights - see https://transport.ec.europa.eu/document/download/fc019827-59c9-400f-a530-4d7d21957a7d_en?filename=COM_2026_233_Proposal_on_the_protection_of_passengers_with_single_tickets.pdf

BUT that means that IF you have some ticket already - a Klimaticket for example - and want to add something on to that, you are left without rights

@jon Have you already found a part in which is written that a OSDM purchase might not necessarily considered as a single commercial transaction?

[jon@gruene.social]

Basically in this #PassengerPackage the Commission seems to have in mind someone who takes a train once a year on holiday, not people who ever do this even semi regularly.

[pettter@social.accum.se]

@jon Couldn't you just have a 0-cost ticket as part of the full through ticket?

[jon@gruene.social]

@wrzlbrnft I think one purchase transaction, purchasing multiple tickets via OSDM, is *included* and covered.

[jon@gruene.social]

We're now talking about airlines in the press conference ‍️ #PassengerPackage

[fbausch@chaos.social]

@jon SNCF is going to find a loophole to just make it impossible to use the "one ticketing transaction" for their trains nevertheless.

[jon@gruene.social]

This is a total dog's dinner #PassengerPackage

[wrzlbrnft@troet.cafe]

@jon If they really want to go this way, they should include long-distance buses too.

[ignaloidas@not.acu.lt]

@jon@gruene.social five months? Good luck getting that through lol

[jon@gruene.social]

Reminder: this is just the Commission proposal for the #PassengerPackage

It has to go to the EP and the Council from here

There is ZERO CHANCE it's going to not going to be amended!

[ignaloidas@not.acu.lt]

@jon@gruene.social "no additional technical burdens" lololololol

[jon@gruene.social]

@wrzlbrnft That might be part covered in the third part of the package (on MDMS)

[jon@gruene.social]

"This proposal is 100% pragmatic" says Tzitzikostas. WTF? No! #PassengerPackage

[jon@gruene.social]

Screaming. Screaming! NOOOOO #PassengerPackage
