IIRC there were some talks between France and Germany a couple of weeks ago to make the national tickets for Germany and France also apply to the other country - if France were to adopt such a ticket, too. I think it might actually become true in our lifetime…
We already have a europe-wide ticket. That would be the Interrail pass. Unfortunately it’s not intended for commuting and so it isn’t truly unlimited in one’s country of residence. Also costs a lot more than €49/month for unlimited travel, but includes high speed trains too (sometimes with a mandatory reservation charge)
That’s were I got the idea for a real EU/continent wide ticket, but France has to adopt such a ticket in the first place.
And Germany has solve some issues with it’s own ticket: Since so many transportation companies are involved some have troubled to accept all the different tickets. Imagine this on European scale…
And our ministers of transport and finance try to kill the ticket silently by reducing funds.
