Recital B
B. whereas most travellers continue to prefer individual transport, and whereas, given that creating EU-wide journey planners will not in itself be enough to achieve better integration of the various modes of transport, each of these transport modes needs to become more efficient and user friendly, and that process will be significantly assisted by, inter alia, the adoption of the Fourth Railway Package and the Regulation on air passengers’ rights and the completion of the Single European Sky;

Amendment 12 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Underlines that EU-wide integrated multimodal travel information, planning and ticketing services provide European businesses, especially SMEs and start- ups, with opportunities for innovation and hence constitute a major contribution to a globally competitive European Single Market and the completion of a Single European Transport Area;
Amendment 25 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Emphasises that EU-wide personal mobility is a prerequisite for the exercise of basic freedoms and that peopleconsumers should therefore be able to access comprehensive information about multimodal and cross- border transport links for seamless, facilitated door-to- door travel with high comfort standards and protection of passenger rights and to make the necessary reservations and payments online;
Amendment 33 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Sees the provision of comprehensive, easily accessible and reliable information for travellers as the first major step towards integrateproviding multimodal information, travel planning and ticketing services, and emphasises that, in order to ensure that measures to that end are fair, it is of prime importance that they be accompanied by the internalisation of external costs for all modes of transport;
Amendment 36 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Underlines that there is a basic need to define the ambition for the mid-term future and thus to clarify whether ´´integrated ticket´´ means having one ticket for one trip or rather the interoperability of systems and tickets;
Amendment 39 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 b (new)
Paragraph 3 b (new)
3b. Is aware of the existing bottlenecks preventing the existence of integrated multimodal information, planning and ticketing services in the EU, such as the incompatibility of data layers, the diversity of and the missing interoperability between the ticketing systems, insufficient liberalization on the Internal Market, costs and financing, as well as the lacking level-playing field between the different modes of transport; urges the Commission to consider those carefully and to elaborate an adequate roadmap with the aim to address the problems without putting additional burden on the operators that might hamper innovation as well as to stimulate the private sector; calls on the Commission to ensure that any regulatory action keeps up with the rapid developments in the transport sector;
Amendment 43 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Welcomes efforts in both the public and private sectors to introduce journey planners but notes that many such services cover only specific regions or countries and that few are multimodal; calls therefore - as a first step - for all the stakeholders and regulators to build on existing synergies and to focus more closely on providing multimodal, cross- border journey planners with tailored ticketing arrangements linking long- distance and local transport - including the blind mile - e.g. by upgrading the different systems to develop their interoperability and enable communication between them; calls on the Commission to use the TEN-T corridors as a pilot project for the identification of passenger flows and the potential for multimodal information, travel planning and ticketing services;
Amendment 49 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Calls on the Commission, with regard to ticketing services, to confine itself to creating amultimodal information, planning and ticketing services, to create a comprehensive framework that supports and facilitates the efforts being made by the stakeholders, the competent authorities and the agreements they have already concluded; urges the Commission to consider the necessary distinction between public and commercial operators and stresses the crucial role the first can play in advancing multimodal information, planning and ticketing services; hence asks the Commission to focus on public transport service providers in its regulatory approach;
Amendment 58 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 – indent 1
Paragraph 6 – indent 1
– to introduce, by 2020 at the latest, national updated timetable information systems linking the timetables for regional and local urban public transport operated by both private and publicly owned companies, and to continue updateing such systems on a regular basis,
Amendment 64 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 – indent 3
Paragraph 6 – indent 3
– to make provision by 2024 at the latest for the national timetable information systems, with real-time information on local public transport operators’ timetables, to be networkedmade accessible to operators and consumers on a cross-border basis;
Amendment 66 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 – indent 3 a (new)
Paragraph 6 – indent 3 a (new)
– to invest and to stimulate investment in the upgrading of different ticketing systems so as to improve the interoperability of those systems, also across borders;
Amendment 72 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Shares the Commission’s view that fair and equal access for service providersinformation, travel planning and ticketing service providers - including SMEs and start-ups - to comprehensive, multimodal real-time transport and travel data is a prerequisite for EU-wide multimodal travel information, planning and ticketing services, and; hence calls on the Commission to circulate a proposal requiring all providers to make available, on fair and equal terms, all the information needed for putting in place more comprehensive services and therebyelaborate a framework proposal for the fair, equal and transparent provision by providers of public transport services of all the information needed for making comprehensive multimodal information, travel planning and ticketing services accessible to consumers and transport operators across Europe. This will enablinge travellers to choose between the most sustainable, best- value or fastest connections, without prejudice to the economic interests of the operators involved;
Amendment 79 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Emphasises that, in line with the EU´s competition policy, it is incumbent on the Commission to identify and counter any potential danger of multimodal information and ticketing providers’ monopolising information;

Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Emphasises the crucial importance, in terms of social mobility and considering the demographic change in Europe, of transport being accessible, and calls for more attention to be paid to the needs of people with disabilities or limited mobility as well as to the special requirements of older people in relation to access to information before and during journeys;
Amendment 107 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 a (new)
Paragraph 11 a (new)
11a. Points out that cycling is to be considered an integral part of any multi- modal journey - including the blind mile; bike rental systems should therefore be included in any information, travel planning and ticketing system; emphasises in this regard the need to strengthen passenger rights and to facilitate the carriage of bikes in all means of transport.
Amendment 109 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Calls for the continuation of support for stakeholders for innovative problem solving, and therefore for the relevant sources of EU financing, e.g. the Shift2Rail Innovation Programme 4 under the Horizon 2020 programme and the Connecting Europe facility, to be maintained and developed; urges the European Investment Bank to make appropriate use of the European Fund for Strategic Investment in this regard;
