History of the regionalization of passenger trains In 1998, the traffic increased to an average of 4.9% in these seven régions compared with 3.2% in other regions.Ī few other regions are in turn signing on conventions interimédiaires in order to prepare for the increasing decentralization of the network: in particular, Haute-Normandie in September 1997, Midi-Pyrénées and Burgundy November 1997, Picardy in January 1998, and Lorraine in February 1998. Seven régions have been experimenting with the transfer of administration of the regional rail network since 1997: Alsace, the Centre-Val de Loire, Nord-Pas-de-Calais (the North), Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Rhône-Alpes and the Pays de la Loire (Loire Valley), and, since January 1999, Limousin. Transfer of administration A TER Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur between Marseille and Miramas. TER trains consist of single or multiple-unit diesel, electric or dual-mode rail cars, as well as some Corail carriages previously used on intercity routes. This cost tends to increase over time because the regional councils have steadily expanded the number of services. On average, 72% of the cost is borne by the State and the regional councils, with the travellers paying only about 28% of the cost. TER services are heavily subsidised by French taxpayers. Since the end of the 1990s, it has been closely coordinated with the regional councils, who sign an agreement with SNCF on the designated routes, the number of connections, the fares and the service levels. SNCF established the TER system in 1984 to provide a framework for the management of regional passenger services.
TER is part of SNCF Voyageurs, a branch of the SNCF dealing with urban and regional passenger rail, which also includes Transilien, Intercités, Chemins de fer de la Corse (CFC), Keolis, and Effia. Every day, over 800,000 passengers are carried on 5,700 TER-branded trains. The network serves French regions Île-de-France ( Transilien) and Corsica ( CFC) have their own specific transport systems. Transport express régional ( French pronunciation: , usually shortened to TER) is the brand name used by the SNCF, the French national railway company, to denote rail service run by the regional councils of France, specifically their organised transport authorities. It can stand for anything from "leftover" items to items that are difficult to classify.Īcronyms finder: Look at TER related acronym, abbreviation or shorthand.A SNCF Class X 73500 train at Moreuil station There is no one answer to this question as "MISCELLANEOUS, SCIENCE, BUSINESS" all categories for anything that doesn't fit into another category.
