The NS says that the money released will allow it to postpone the proposed fare increase of 8.67 percent. “We are happy with this good news for our travelers at a time when many things are becoming more expensive,” said Tjalling Smit, responsible for train tickets and season tickets for the NS. However, he repeats the concern that the rate increase will still have to be implemented at the end of next year, on top of the inflation for 2025. “Nobody wants that,” says Smit. “We are therefore in discussions with The Hague to prevent this and look for a structural solution.”
