A regulatory framework that consistently changes
In most European countries, Authorities have implemented legal frameworks that enable better organize the subsidized public transports offer and made it reachable for most people, in the best conditions. For instance, in 2019, in France, the law called “Loi d’Orientation des Mobilités » (LOM) changed the governance to reinforce the role of the administrative regions.
Regarding the “Open Access” market, it continues to involve mainly long distance transportation, ensure directly by operators, without subsidies.
Cooperation between Public Transport Authorities and Public Transport Operators
This is therefore up to the regions, and municipalities to organize the public transport offer and to contract with operators that deliver the service on a daily basis.
In this context, Authorities and Operators must work together to offer citizens efficient and complementary mobility means so that they can have access to their work, education and leisure places.
Transformation of Regional Distribution Systems
The opening of regional railway operations to competition — and thus to new railway operators — is pushing the Public Transport Authorities (PTAs) to reconsider their ticketing strategies, which are currently managed mainly by the historical operator.
The key challenge for the PTAs is to take control of the distribution of their tickets, making them usable across urban transport networks (network interoperability) while reducing costs.
To achieve this, most regions have already decided to source and implement alternative, more modern ticketing systems that they can control directly.
However, this move towards greater autonomy in regional rail distribution must be carried out while ensuring the validity of tickets for journeys between regions.
