20 Jun 2024 10:45 - 11:45 STROP (Blue room) Panel discussion

Many of us are increasingly looking into combining bikes and trains, one of the most sustainable travel option for leisure, tourism and daily trips. But just how easy is that? Quickly questions arise around bike carriage, fees charged and booking channels. While the benefits of enabling an effortless combination of bike and train rides are clear because it addresses the main inherent weakness of each of the modes: the lack of door-to-door connectivity of railsystems and the long-distance challenge for cyclists. Yet its implementation remains complex. Join the session to hear about best practices across Europe, rail operator's strategies and the implementation of the recast of the EU rail passengers’ rights and obligations regulation.
