TRANSDEV, Germany’s largest private public transport operator, is calling for fair competition in train ticket distribution and full access to all ticket sales channels including apps and websites.
Up to now, private train operators in Germany have only been able to sell tickets for local journeys. However, after a long battle and intervention by Germany’s federal cartel office in May 2016, private operators will soon be able sell long-distance tickets via their own distribution channels.
