The outline of the report is as follows. - Current use of trains in the EU: frequency, reasons and satisfaction - Support for rail market competition in the EU - Expected impact of rail market on: - rail services - individual stakeholders - public funding - Effects of rail market competition wished for: - railway offers - ways of buying tickets #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
