Opodo travel news
Paris, Brussels transport tickets sold by Eurostar
13 Jan 2009
Eurostar has begun selling tickets for metro and bus services in Paris and Brussels onboard its trains.
The provision will allow travellers to save time and stress by avoiding the lengthy queues that often build up at ticket booths in Paris and Brussels, according to Eurostar.
People making use of onward connections to other European destinations could also benefit from being able to change stations quickly having already bought their ticket on a Eurostar train.
The initiative follows the recently introduction of Visitor Oyster cards on the rail operator's services to London.
Eurostar communications director Simon Montague said: 'Selling Paris and Brussels tube and bus tickets and London's Visitor Oyster cards onboard really helps travellers to speed up the journey to their final destinations.
'Public transport is the best value option that allows them to save money for sightseeing and shopping, and helps travellers to reduce the environmental impact of their onward travel.'
Passengers have the choice to buy their tickets in euros or pounds, an option that could be welcomed by British travellers owing to the current rate of exchange between the two currencies.
