Transmodel is the Only Rail Ticketing Standard that Ensures Transparency and Non-Discrimination for Passengers
▶ Transmodel is the technical standard that is best suited for creating impartial and seamless ticketing in passenger rail.
▶ It does not act as a filter for the bundling or unbundling of tickets, and it does not restrict ticket vendors from showing all options.
Therefore, it provides passengers with all possibilities to plan their rail journey and is the only ticketing standard that is fully transparent.
Developed by the neutral and independent standardisation agency CEN, Transmodel is a data model standard that enables rail operators to provide all their offerings to a much larger market. 
It is the basis for the NeTEx specification, which standardises the delivery of data from data providers to rail ticket vendors, so that passengers can search for trains.
Rail Interoperability Directive (EU) 2016/797 entails policy goals for TSI Telematics, such as providing passengers with all rail options when they are searching for trains – and not just with those options that some companies want them to see.
Meanwhile, NeTEx is a way to structure data, and as such it can also display yield managed fares. This still requires an “online” solution, in other words an API.
▶Once this is ready, then all options will not only be transparent but also easy to book online – a huge boost in making our sector more accessible.
ALLRAIL Secretary General Nick Brooks says: “It is now crucial that the entire passenger rail sector engages in a constructive manner with CEN in order to support and develop Transmodel NeTEx.
Creating a ticketing platform based on Transmodel and NeTEx is the only way to achieve full transparency for passengers.”
