brief reminder that the #klimaticket is valid on #regiojet trains (until the first stop across the border) – which is not the case for öbb trains (at least not on these routes!)

i didn't know about this, was very surprised when i found out, and then forgot about it again. so, here's the reminder!

edit: apparently you can travel without reservation, but you will "be seated" in low-cost and you won't get any on-board service (which makes sense). i just wonder how well this works in practice

@bananas i think groceries are cheaper in czechia,,
(my thought process is more towards taking a free train across the border and then booking onwards domestic trains, which might be cheaper than international services. but i don't plan on going to either country atm, so i'll probably forget about it again)

@bananas idk how reliable this source is that i just found, https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Comparative_price_levels_for_food,_beverages_and_tobacco

@bananas wait what country would make austria look cheap?

@bananas the diagram says the netherlands are in the 90-100 area... but maybe that's changed, idk

@sk
@bananas honestly funny because we sometimes joke with our girlfriend that something costs "x slices of cheese in the netherlands" when it costs x€. we saw the single packaged slice of 1€ cheese with our own eyes. i think cheese in particular is like unreasonably expensive in nl even if it's specifically dutch cheese

@sk although at the time i was comparing against the uk which is even more expensive than the netherlands. austria looks very cheap compared to london.

@bananas i honestly don't know

If you arrive on a RegioJet train without a seat ticket, you will be seated in the Low cost carriages (if there is a seat available)

and if no seat is available, i'm sure standing until the next station (which is always the one across the border) will be fine, right? :')
