So much more is paid every month for this perk than for normal worker. Note that SNCF is not in deficit every year, but generally post some profit. Though they have a unhealthy debt burden, mainly due to enormous investment needed to create the railway network. As it is seen a public infrastructure by some their is a debate on how much of it should be supported by the state (just like the state support the road system and the airtravel)

I don't disagree that the SNCF is contributing extra (estimate 1-2B a year given 130k employees), but it's not paid by the workers, it's not taken off their salary. It is a perk and it is not taxable. Bearing in mind, the total amount even with the extra is nowhere near enough to cover the actual benefits. 2018 results say 33B in revenues, 141m in profit. I stand corrected, it's not losing money every year lately, it's about even.
