Carlo Boselli, General Manager at Eurail: “I could not be prouder of this milestone. Trenitalia was among the first European carriers to introduce e-ticketing for their national services years ago. They were also the first carrier to make seat reservations digitally available for our customers in the Rail Planner app. I look forward to extending this project with other carriers later this year.”
The launch of the mobile Pass for Italy is the first step in the roll-out of a digitization project of Eurail that connects more than 35 participating carriers across Europe in one flexible travel offer. The objective of this project is to have a centralized distribution system and to take away the need for paper tickets. The entire Eurail community will benefit from the new digital platform and mobile Pass, offering travellers an easy and flexible solution, shorter time to market for Eurail and a secure and precise revenue solution for participating carriers.
The new Italy Mobile Pass is currently exclusively available at the Interrail and the Eurail webshops. The mobile version of the multi-country Global Passes and more One Country Passes will follow later this year.
