Disparities between national practices can create confusion for passengers when they face challenges during their journey, especially if it spans EU borders. It can also be difficult for passengers to understand the necessary steps and find appropriate assistance. Today&#8217;s guidelines will help improve implementation and complement the Commission&#8217;s efforts to raise awareness of passenger rights, including through regular online awareness-raising campaigns, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/youreurope\/citizens\/travel\/passenger-rights\/index_en.htm\">Your Europe<\/a>\u00a0web pages and a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/youreurope\/citizens\/travel\/passenger-rights\/index_en.htm\">passenger rights mobile app<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Passengers in need of more information about their rights<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today&#8217;s guidelines come together with the release of a\u00a0<strong>new\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/eurobarometer\/surveys\/detail\/2957\"><strong>Eurobarometer survey<\/strong><\/a>, which highlights that\u00a0<strong>most Europeans still feel that they lack sufficient information on their passenger rights<\/strong>, even if awareness increased compared to five years ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Results highlight that respondents were most likely to feel well informed about passenger rights for travel by rail<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(33%), followed by air (30%), coach (27%) and then ship\/ferry<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(16%). The survey also shows that 84% of respondents requesting assistance for persons with disabilities or reduced mobility were satisfied with the response.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">35% of travellers have seen information about passenger rights, up 13 percentage points since 2019. Most commonly, this was in railway stations (9%, +5). 75% of plane passengers received pre-travel information on their rights, compared to 61% for rail, 51% for coaches, and 54% for ships\/ferries. Awareness-raising remains extremely important.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Satisfaction with how significant disruptions were handled is highest for flights (66%, +12 pp, followed by ships\/ferries (53%, -3 pp), rail (52%, +8 pp), and coaches (50%, +8 pp).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Use of single tickets for multimodal journeys remains limited at 11% (unchanged), with rail\/coach (39%, +9 pp) and air\/rail (25%, +1 pp) the most common combinations. 32% (+7 pp) faced issues, 13% (+4 pp) almost missed a connection, and 11% (+3 pp) actually missed a connection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Next steps<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The guidelines can now be used by operators and national enforcement bodies.
