Heurotrain's goals
Heurotrain plans to provide more frequent departures and lower ticket prices on routes connecting major cities such as Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam. This could change how people travel across Europe.
Focus on affordability
The startup emphasizes affordability, aiming to make train travel between these cities more accessible to a wider range of passengers. This could challenge the current market leaders.
