The cost of the pass is near equivalent to one week of Tube travel in London.
For only €49 , those travelling on the rail pass in France can get unlimited travel for a month across the country. It includes TER regional services, intercity trains, and potentially local bus, metro and tram travel too.
Even if you don’t travel on it daily, you’ll likely still be making a saving instead of paying for journeys separately.There’s also savings to be had on long-distance routes. For example, if you booked Paris to Toulouse on the day, you could be forking out as much as €94 – almost double the new rail pass.
This pass comes after multiple domestic short-haul flights in France were banned, to get more people using trains. Research has shown that a small proportion of flyers undertake a huge proportion of flights in Europe – the hope is, more people will pick transport options that are better for the environment.
The new pass is due to be available from summer of next year – so keep it in mind when you plan next year’s holiday.
