Deutsche Bahn (DB) is set to launch a new digital infrastructure this autumn to simplify international rail bookings across Europe. The initiative includes adopting the Open Sales and Distribution Model (OSDM) to enable better integration of ticketing systems among European rail operators. While this aims to improve convenience and address passenger rights issues, experts warn that it may not guarantee unified tickets or consistent enforcement of rights. The move comes amid EU pressure for unified platforms and better passenger protections, with DB optimistic about future expansions and increased ticket sales.
