Sure hope so. Meanwhile, in The Netherlands, we’re raising train ticket prices once again.
Recently, I was thinking about a hypothetical trip to the Netherlands and looking for the train prices. I was suprised how expensive they really are. As I understand it, a day ticket costs more than the DeutschlandTicket for a month, and relatively even more if you consider discounted DeutschlandTickets.
It’s really unfortunate yeah. The other day I saw some tips on saving money by booking international train tickets via the foreign rail operator vs NS International. Saving 50% on your ticket price was pretty much guaranteed.
