The Rail Pass is supposed to allow young people under 27 to travel by Intercités and TER throughout France from this summer for a monthly subscription of 49 euros. The fault, according to the government, lies with three regions which are reluctant to implement it: Normandy, Hauts-de-France and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
“Unless there is a change of direction from the regional presidents, today, we cannot be operational in 2024 (…) there will be no rail pass this summer,” said the minister.
