4.5 million people booked a train ride for the holidays, and prices skyrocketed. Spotlight, Friday December 22 in 19/20 info, by Arnaud Aymé, lawyer specializing in transport at Sia Partners.
How can prices soar on trains be explained? “The price of train tickets depends on the level of occupancy of these TGVs at the time we reserve them. Here, we are talking regarding trains during a peak period. Christmas, like February or July-August are the most popular periods. busier for the SNCF, so that’s where it can hope to make money. Where the prices seem high, it’s for those who book late.”explains Arnaud Aymé, specialist transport lawyer at Sia Partners.
Supply and demand
High prices appear “when there are rush trains”and that these latter “are already almost full at the time of booking”. Are the increases justified? “On high speed, whether at SNCF, other rail transport or in the air world, it is supply and demand which decide the prices”explains Arnaud Aymé, who recalls that “the SNCF makes its profits only from the sale of tickets”.
