The Railway Reform Authority (ARF) is set to launch the integrated train ticket this month, a facility that will allow passengers to purchase a single ticket for a route served by two or three rail operators.
The system underwent testing last month and is expected to become operational in March within the “train schedule” – the infofer.ro system.
The IT system for issuing integrated tickets will enable travelers to buy a single ticket for routes such as Bârlad-Zărnești, which are served by two or even three operators, including CFR Călători – the state operator for the route to Brașov, and the private operator – Regio Călători, from Brașov to Zărnești.
