The SNCF charges more for the shortest journeys, points out a UFC-Que Choisir study. The consumer association highlights what appears to be counter-intuitive, but considers this trend “logical” “The various fixed costs are easier to amortize” over longer distances, the study says.
The route which displays the highest price is none other than the Aix-en-Provence TGV-Avignon TGV, the price per kilometer reaches 0.36 euros.
