France hampers rail competition: state operator controls 98% of traffic despite theoretical liberalisation
Los operadores extranjeros luchan por hacerse un hueco a la sombra de la empresa pública SNCF, que domina el mercado y la infraestructura
Last April, the French Senate validated an article within the transport financing law that requires the French company SNCF to sell tickets from foreign companies operating in the country, such as Italian Trenitalia or Renfe, starting in December, on its ticket sales application. The goal is to allow users to compare rates, but above all to make visible competitors that, despite the liberalization of the sector in 2020, still find numerous obstacles to gaining market share and expanding their activity in France. SNCF controls 98% of national rail traffic.
