      Saving you a click: trenitalia is first.

      “ Eight criteria were used to evaluate companies on medium- and long-distance routes, the most important of which is ticket price. Other criteria included reliability, the offer of discounts, compensation policies, the offer of night trains and bicycle spaces.”

      I actually used to count on Trenitalia to be late when I used to take the train skiing in Valais. The 6pm train from Milan would roll through Sion around 8:30pm, a mere 2.5 hours late. But quickest trip possible back to Geneva! (Only stops on Montreux and Lausanne)

      They think SNCF and Renfe are top operating companies!? I would also like to see which RegioJet they have traveled on, as most of them are a hump of rusting shit.

      I’m sorry, but putting SBB in the same group as Regiojet and Trenitalia is one of the most grave insults I’ve ever seen.

      Anywhere outside of the north, Trenitalia is basically the same shit as DB, except less frequent. Their high speed network is great though, and considering that it’s Italy, they’re actually doing an amazing job.

      Regiojet runs only on the most profitable routes, while putting minimum money into maintainance and redundancy. Last time I took Regiojet from Prague to Kosice, the train had a 12 hour delay on a 7h journey – their shitty locomotive broke down and they had to send in a new one all the way from Prague, because they had 0 other depots on the entire 700km distance.

      Honestly, whatever the end result of the ranking is, the report/evaluation is raising some good points where the SBB is lacking.

      – Night trains are definitely lacking

      – Getting reimbursed/changing ticket is not that easy. You basically have to open a ticket to the support, which does not have clear guidelines

      – Prices are high, why would I pay for the train when it’s so much cheaper to take the car/travel with easyjet

      – Bikes rules are dogshit, have a bike in a bag? ok, bike without bag, pay a ticket please

      It would be great if people look at these points and try to improve the result. One person can hope… Too bad the article very vaguely cover the reasons.

      Maybe Trenitalia is not the best, but excluding SBB, compared to any other operator in Europe it’s pretty pretty good. And people should be honest with that. Concerning SBB I have one big complaint: where the heck is the high speed network?!?
