The railway passenger traffic in France is forecasted to see a gradual decline from 84.38 billion passenger kilometers in 2024 to 80.92 billion in 2028. The year-on-year variation indicates a consistent decrease of approximately 1% each year, denoting a steady downward trend in railway use. This declining pattern is significant as it follows a similar trend observed in the previous years, continuing the trend from 2023.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from investments in sustainable transportation alternatives and the ongoing adaptation to remote work which may lead to reduced commuting. Additionally, changes in tourism patterns and economic factors could also influence future railway traffic volumes.
