The project develops strategic options for political decision-makers on how planning, booking and information on the journey itself for rail travel - including multimodal pre- and post-carriage, e.g. in public transport or bike sharing ("door-to-door") - can be improved from the user's point of view. This applies in particular to a booking process that is as seamless as possible ("one app for everything"), but also applies to innovations in the market for booking platforms and ticketing in general. To this end, the project is investigating regulatory and other tools that can be used to promote cooperation between different booking platforms and transport companies.

In order to plan and book an (international) trip in the environmental network, you usually need several systems - the more transport companies are involved, the more complicated the process becomes. To simplify the process, travel information would have to be exchanged and ticket sales would have to be opened. However, this topic is by no means new. Technically, this networking is quite demanding, but in principle feasible. What is missing are the economic incentives and legal framework to actually implement networking. The latter is to be created with the amendment to the MMTIS Regulation and the MDMS Regulation initiative. Experience with the mixed success of regulatory approaches in Norway and Finland suggests that regulatory concepts need to be underpinned by an effective structure and, if necessary, accompanying measures. These structures and measures will be investigated in this project.
