Soon the end of free train tickets for railway workers and their families? – LCI

“In principle, I agree that the railway workers keep benefits in kind”, Jean-Baptiste Djebbari said on RMC on Friday. However, according to the Minister for Transport, it is “to discuss” of the perimeter of “traffic facilities”, the tariff reductions granted by the SNCF to more than a million railway workers and members of their families. Today, active and retired agents, their partners, their children under 21 or students, as well as their ascendants, benefit from free or reduced-rate tickets.

The 2018 railway reform law, which organizes in particular the opening up to competition, defined the main guarantees for employees in the event of transfer to a competitor, but entrusted the social partners with the definition of additional guarantees, including traffic facilities. . “We will initiate consultation (…) next week with the unions. The idea (…) is to be able to settle this subject before we have a system of competition”, said the minister. “I am in favor of making it easier for railway workers. We have to see the perimeter, in any case discuss it. It is a question of credibility, in any case of acceptability of the system.”
