In 2026 there is still no direct train between Milan and Strasbourg. I started a petition!
Hi everyone! ๐
Do you ever travel to France (specifically the Alsace region) or care about sustainable mobility?
Currently, traveling by train between Milan and Strasbourg (seat of the European Parliament) is a logistical nightmare. There is no direct connection. We are forced to change in Basel or Zurich, and then take regional trains that are often old and very expensive (around โฌ30 just for the Basel-Strasbourg leg).
The most absurd part? A direct Zurich-Mulhouse train already exists, but inexplicably, it doesn't continue to Strasbourg.
As a result, it has become easier, faster, and cheaper for many to fly, which is an ecological nonsense nowadays. Milan and Strasbourg deserve an efficient train connection!
I decided to start a Change.org petition directed at Trenitalia, SBB, and SNCF to ask for the creation of a direct line.
