Then they decided to derive price per 100 km as share of monthly salary. Unsurprisingly, UK last minute takes the cake at a whopping 1.05%, EIP last minute distorts the stats at 0.77%…
And on the other end of the scale is the TGV at 0.18%? How degressive is SNCF's tariff?

And at the low end both UK long-distance and EIP are 0.23%. So I guess I can now say Pendolino prices are for us somewhat like British prices except less terminology and there are plentiful options that are actually affordable 9/ #UTKComparesRailPrices

@HaTetsu TGVs aren't priced per kilometre. Fairer to say that they're priced per leg based on demand and how much the SNCF thinks they can get away with restricting supply e.g. today Paris - Le Mans: €70, 1h, 200km Paris - Nice: €80, 6h, 900km so if you divide by km on one of the longest journeys in the country they look very cheap
