Background

The Single Digital Booking and Ticketing Regulation (SDBTR) aims to expand the availability of rail ticket options on Multimodal Digital Mobility Services (MDMS) platforms.

While the related MDMS proposal focuses on improving the overall online multimodal ticketing market by enhancing transparency, ensuring fair competition, and preventing market distortion, the SDBTR specifically targets rail services. It seeks to increase the number and variety of rail tickets and fares accessible through digital platforms.

The regulation addresses ticketing fragmentation, making it possible to book multi-operator rail journeys in a single transaction, while maintaining full passenger rights throughout the entire trip.
