Prices and Discounts 价格与折扣 European train fares are based primarily on the distance travelled. Each country has its own euros per kilometre formula, though the type of train also affects the price.

For faster classes of trains, however, many European rail companies have moved to a dynamic pricing system in which a fare can vary depending on demand, restrictions, and how early you purchase. 欧洲的火车票价格主要与出行的距离 有关.每个国家都有自己的 欧元/公里 的规定,但列车的类型也会影响 票价,逻辑上来说,慢车一般要比快 车便宜.不过,对于快速列车来说, 很多欧洲的列车公司都启用了动态定 价系统,即票价是会受旅客购票需求、交通管控和提早购票的日期影响 而不同的. Discounts 折扣 Advance purchase (a week to three months in advance) can save you a significant amount of money in certain countries, especially for faster or longer rides. This is most notable in Austria, Britain, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden. 预购(提前1周到3个月)会大幅节省买 票的开销,尤其对较快或长途的列车, 享受此折扣的国家主要有:奥地利、英国、芬兰、法国、德国、意大利、西班 牙和瑞典.

Children get ticket discounts in most of Europe (typically about

50 percent for ages 4C11). Travel is sometimes even free for children when accompanied by an adult. 在欧洲大部分地方儿童票有折扣,一般 4至11岁半价,有时和大人同行还可以 免票. Youths aged 12C25 can buy discount cards in Austria, Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy. 12至25岁的青年可以买折扣卡,可购 买的国家有奥地利、比利时、英国、法国、德国和意大利.

t take foreign credit cards;

if the machines don'

t accept your card, try using cash. II) Online 在线 You can generally get a decent discount on the full fare if you buy the train tickets at least a month in advance. And booking a week in advance is almost always cheaper than booking on the day of travel. 如果提前至少1个月买票的话,你一般 会在全价的基础........
