Position Paper
ALLRAIL publishes the second part of our Position Paper, The Great Rail Ticket Unbundling, focusing on the urgent need for harmonised and robust rail passenger rights across the EU.
If nothing changes:
- Viable rail options remain unused due to lack of protection.
- Market dominant operators determine when protection applies.
- New entrants remain excluded from protected network effects.
- Rail’s full potential is lost and taxpayer subsidy rises.
ALLRAIL calls for:
- Mandatory Significant Market Power through ticket agreements on fair, transparent and non discriminatory terms.
- An EU wide Missed Connection Protection.
- A performance driven, causer pays liability framework.
