Soon the end of incomprehensible SNCF tariffs?

It's possible.

In any case, according to

Le Figaro

, the national railway company considered to establish a maximum tariff for its TGV in second class.

And that, even if they are booked at the last moment.

SNCF, which will face immense losses in this year of health crisis, is trying by all means to bring passengers back to its trains.

Obviously, the pricing track is being seriously explored.

Concretely, currently, the prices of TGV tickets are only linked to supply and demand.

The earlier you buy, the cheaper it is, and vice versa.

Tomorrow, it would be possible that this fluctuation is now included in a price range.

Your Paris-Marseille purchased at the last moment will therefore perhaps no longer hit the ceiling.

This range has been a long-standing request from SNCF users.

Bruno Gazeau, president of the National Federation of Transport User Associations, thinks that a “

 more transparent

pricing policy

would be appreciated by users

 ”.

This could therefore be a leverage to win back customers largely confined in 2020.
