Train tickets to rise by "modest" 6% after cabinet puts up €40m

Dutch News  

The price of train tickets will rise by 6% next year after the government agreed to put up €40 million to limit the increase. National rail operator NS said last month it would need to raise ticket prices in 2025 by 12% to cover a €120 million gap in its budget, equivalent to 8.7% above inflation. Junior transport minister Chris Jansen said in a letter to parliament on Friday that he was looking for a “structural solution for the high ticket price rises”. But raising ticket prices too far risks making the problem worse, the government’s transport policy research bureau KiM has warned.
