UE vrea să lege marile orașe cu trenuri de mare viteză. Miza: mai puține zboruri și bilete accesibile

The European Parliament supports the development of a high-speed train network to connect major cities across the EU, aiming to reduce air travel and make tickets more affordable. Recommendations include long-term investments and improved accessibility for passengers. The network should not only link capitals but also major cities in all EU regions. Eurodeputies emphasize the need for affordable fares and transparency in pricing to facilitate comparisons among operators. The European Commission has proposed measures to simplify ticket comparisons. Significant funding is required for this initiative, with calls for inclusion in the EU's future budget. The goal is to encourage a shift from air travel to trains, contributing to reduced fossil fuel dependence and job creation in the rail sector.
