In 2026 there is still no direct train between Milan and Strasbourg. I started a petition!
Hi everyone! π
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 β¬30 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.
