Find out more about the future of European rail ticketing in this interesting news item on the Open Sales and Distribution Model (OSDM):

Rail Ticketing | Are you wondering how the future of European rail ticketing looks? Sweden has launched OSDM as the standard for its national ticket distribution. 🚆 Open Sales and Distribution Model, #OSDM for short, is a rail sector initiative aimed at simplifying and improving the booking process for customers of public transport trips and to lower complexity and distribution costs for retailers, distributors and carriers. ✅ The use case in Sweden shows that the initiative can be used in addition to other standards. From the rail perspective, OSDM represents both a vision and now a reality of #RailTicketing, that is more future-proof than the current situation and will benefit both operators and passengers. 📱 As it is crucial that the information available to both the retailer and passenger is not unduly limited by the technical and functional requirements set out in any specification, OSDM has been developed together with ticket vendors in full transparency with the European Union Agency for Railways. 🗺 Its implementation is ongoing, with six European Railway Undertakings to implement it by the end of this year and many more planning to deploy in 2025 #CERTicketingRoadmap #UICrail Director General François DAVENNE said: “We extend our congratulations and gratitude to the entire Samtrafiken team for this achievement. The launch of OSDM is the proof that such collaborative solutions, created by the sector - which means tailored to the business and customer needs, are designed to be multimodal and open for all players in passenger mobility. This approach represents a significant response to the global challenges of sustainable mobility and modal shift at worldwide level”. *The EU-level Technical Specification for Interoperability (TSI) on Telematic Applications is currently under revision.

OSDM is the flagship solution of the Roadmap, which enables and enhances many of its actions such as the CIT Agreement on Journey Continuation. I call on the European Commission to reference OSDM in European legislation* as this will boost digital investments and accelerate the CER Ticketing Roadmap deployment.” *The EU-level Technical Specification for Interoperability (TSI) on Telematic Applications is currently under revision.

Here are our top 3 key insights from today's panel: ✨Value-Driven Retailing: The transition to modern airline retailing should prioritize adding value, offering customers more choices and flexibility.
