Now upgraded to a promise in the EU Commission President's application speech: "We will propose a Single Digital Booking and Ticketing Regulation, to ensure that Europeans can buy one single ticket on one single platform and get passengers’ rights for their whole trip."

🍾 We did it. On Monday we transformed ourselves into Back-on-Track Europe a.i.s.b.l., an international non-profit under Belgian law in order to gain more influence on EU 🇪🇺 institutions (partly requiring legal status). Thanks to our donors from 14 countries who supported this!
