Same here. Travelling to Europe for the first time from South America and it's been a godsend. Naively thought that train travelling was simpler than it really is (which is completely understandable that's why I say I was being naive). Eurail community posters pointed me to that webpage and didn't need anything else.
Love the simple design too, a godsend nowadays.
- ghaff 3y agoI often say that train and transit travel often seems to assume that you're a local who knows what they're doing rather than a potentially first-time visitor who doesn't speak the language.
- bombcar 3y agoMost transit systems (and leaking into trains) are oriented toward commuters, because that's the vast majority of the ridership. The most common "concession" to visitors is often a (slightly overpriced) day or week pass that lets you ride anything anytime.
- ghaff 3y agoOh, I understand the reason. At least with transit, just tapping a credit card is becoming more common which generally reduces the need to dig into how payment works.
- Tijdreiziger 3y agoBasically, the reason that it’s not simple is that every country has its own rail operator.
