Having public transport available without having to worry about buying a ticket just because of the subscription you already have anyway is far better than interrail

This ticket is not for long distance travel but for shorter distances - it will be an extension to interrail and not a replacement

Could lead to a pseudo-standard that could result in an eu-wide ticket of such type in the long run

and that's contradicting my point how?

In Germany the ticket is only for regional trains - if you want to go from Berlin to Munich you'll have to pay money to get there in 4 hours or spend the whole day travelling in 12+ hours

how would that be an alternative to interrail?

What did you mean by an EU wide ticket?

[-] hh93@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

EU wide for regional transport

That's for member states to implement, not the EU then. EU wide would mean freedom of movement, and if you couldn't get over a border with an EU wide ticket, it'd be shit.
