now make an EU-49โฌ-Ticket
The original plan was to make it valid both in France and Germany. Not sure what happened, but frankly the cost argument is ridiculous given how much money is spend on way worse transportation by the government otherwise.
European passenger rail is nation based, with very little cross-national compatibility. My guess is that DB didn't want to deal with it.
There is indeed a euro-express (or something like that) and switzerland has special trains for that, so that their good ones aren't ruined by German rails....
