An Advantage card, less advantageous than before. This is bad news for the 4.5 million people who have this SNCF card.

It currently costs 49 euros per year.

The SNCF justifies this price increase with an increase in its costs of more than 13% this year, mainly due to the increase in electricity prices. TGV fares had already increased by 5% in January. The SNCF also announced on Monday that it will sell 300,000 fixed-price TGV tickets at 29, 39 or 49 euros for the month of August. The offer of 200,000 Intercités tickets at €19 has also been extended until 31 August.
