Rail is a cornerstone of a European zero emission mobility system. It is highly electrified and energy efficient, but people have been let down by high prices and poor connections, reliability and services.
With 7% of passengers kilometres but just 0.4% of transport CO2 emissions, rail transport must be developed, alongside electric vehicles and clean fuels. Unlocking competition, improving ticketing and leveraging the existing infrastructure are key to incentivising rail.
