Multimodal Digital Mobility Services

Transport

Planning and buying tickets for multimodal journeys can be cumbersome for travellers in the EU. Multimodal Digital Mobility Services (e.g. route-planners, ticket vendors) help to compare different travel options. This initiative addresses market challenges for such services and implements Action 37 of the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy. It aims to better integrate public transport and rail services to achieve seamless multimodal passenger transport, delivering on the EU Green Deal.

European Rail Operators Urge Sector-Led Digital Ticketing Solutions

Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies, 2 Nov 2021

CER insists that sector-led ticketing models should be the starting point for regulations. They oppose mandatory ticket re-selling and demand that data sharing remains strictly voluntary.
This protects rail operators' pricing autonomy and reduces potential new administrative burdens.
Digital platforms lose the power to become market gatekeepers through unregulated data aggregation.
