Summary
The European Commission has launched a proposal called "One Journey, One Ticket, Full Rights" aimed at simplifying cross-border train travel in Europe. Currently, multi-operator journeys require juggling separate tickets from different websites with varying rules and no protection for missed connections due to delays. The proposal would allow passengers to search, compare, and buy a single ticket covering an entire cross-border journey with unified passenger rights.
