Description
Commuter users of the train service along the Brenner or Valsugana lines can obtain a form of compensation in the event of train delays/disruptions.
The compensation consists of a bonus discount on the purchase of a season ticket, defined according to a monitoring system on the reliability of train services.
The monitoring system calculates every month the reliability index of Trenitalia train services along the Brenner and Valsugana lines (including, for the latter line, also the train services run by Trentino Trasporti), which takes into account train delays and cancellations.
If these indices are exceeded, users can obtain a refund of €10.00, which can take the form of a discount on the purchase of the next season ticket for weekly/monthly subscribers, or in the form of a refund on current account in the case of renewal of annual/semi-monthly season tickets.
The reliability index limit for the Valsugana railway is 1.00 %.
The reliability index limit for the Brenner railway is 2.50 %.
To find out the reliability indexes for the Brenner railway and the Valsugana railway, and any overruns, you can download the monitoring table for the years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025:
Restrictions
To claim the bonus, you must
- have made at least 10 validations for the reference month
- submit the request by the end of the month following the month in which the overrun index is published
If, at the conclusion of the checks, it turns out that the season ticket holder has not made the 10 validations, he/she must return the sum of 10.00 Euro to a Trenitalia ticket office.
