Open letter to Timmermans: Europeans need an easy way to book travel across transport modes and operators

June 8, 2023

T&E joins nine organisations in calling upon the EU to ease the booking of (multimodal) transport journeys involving different transport offers across all modes and operators into a single booking.

To support the European Green Deal ambitions, the MDMS Regulation (Multimodal Digital Mobility Services Regulation) must enable convenient combination and booking of transport options. Since the inception of this Regulation, we have advocated for the EU to ease the booking of (multimodal) transport journeys involving different transport offers across all modes and operators into a single booking. This initiative is a crucial piece of the transition towards a more sustainable mobility system and has the potential to play an important role in encouraging the much-needed shift to rail.
