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

@jon Couldn't you just have a 0-cost ticket as part of the full through ticket?
-
@jon Have you already found a part in which is written that a OSDM purchase might not necessarily considered as a single commercial transaction?
@wrzlbrnft I think one purchase transaction, purchasing multiple tickets via OSDM, is *included* and covered.

We're now talking about airlines in the press conference

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

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

@jon Or if you get stuck somewhere & unexpectedly have to buy a ticket say on a different service.
