Eurail and Björn Bender, I re-discovered the interrail pass some 25 years after I first used it as a student. It's a fascinating and enriching experience to travel by train and I've fallen in love with it till the extreme that I used already several times the train to cover the journey from Barcelona to Germany. Within the last 10 months I bought 4 global interrail 2 months passes for myself and others for my family. And that's where my critics begin. Meanwhile you as a company cannot move mountains like improving railroad infrastructure, putting direct connections between European cities that are poorly connected, synchronizing transnational schedules, ... You can definitely do better at packaging offers and doing pricing. Think big! Do not limit yourself to the target customer described by the one-time experience you have when traveling several weeks in summer through Europe. Tackle and win those customers that want to travel in a sustainable manner throughout a year! Those who do not want to fly or ride a car if it's not strictly necessary. I'm missing out a global pass with a validity of 12 months granting 30 or 40 travel days. Or have some loyalty programs in place like discounts for buying the next pass before your current one expires. Or group discount schemes that aim at convincing sports clubs or schools to choose trains over planes. Thanks and good luck. You're on the right track. #interrail #Europe #sustainability
