Campaigners propose a £49 monthly "climate card" rail pass in the UK, supported by Greenpeace, aiming to increase rail usage and reduce pollution.
Campaigners are advocating for a "climate card" rail pass in the UK, allowing unlimited train travel for a flat monthly fee, estimated at £49. Supported by Greenpeace, the proposal aims to simplify fares, foster economic growth, and reduce pollution by increasing rail usage over car travel. A study indicates potential revenue loss of £45 million to £637 million, but highlights health benefits and regional economic boosts. Initial trials may focus on northern England, managed by Great British Railways.
