Press Release: Commission welcomes European Parliament approval for bus and coach passenger rights

The European Commission welcomes the European Parliament voting in favour of a regulation on rights of passengers travelling by bus and coach after difficult negotiations. After air, rail and water, now transport by road will also be covered by a specific set of rights for passengers, thus completing the legal framework for users of all transport modes at EU level. Bus and coach passengers, and in particular passengers with a disability and people with a reduced mobility, will enjoy new rights that will protect them when they travel anywhere within the European Union.
