Travelling by train in Italy and Europe
Earlier this month, the NGO Transport & Environment (T&E), which strives for more environmentally friendly transport, a study on the quality of European railway companies.
- The train tickets are not cheap (6.4/10), but you can often benefit from interesting discounts (10/10), usually if you book well in advance.
- Trenitalia (8.9/10) and the French SNCF (10/10) stand out for their travel experience.
- In terms of booking experience, Trenitalia ranks fifth.
- The Swiss SBB and the Dutch NS are the most punctual operators in Europe, but here too Trenitalia is fifth.
