Starting on 12. December 2004, TrenOK was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Italian state-owned train company Trenitalia, operating ETR 450 high-speed services on the routes Milan - Rome[1] and Rome - Bari (starting March 2005) as a test bed for a new service and ticketing strategy.[2]
Concept
editThe only 2. Class service included multiple intermediary stops at suburban stations, as it was designed to compete with the offerings of low-cost airlines. Three price categories have been available (€9, €19, €25), where 50% of the train capacity has been sold off for the lowest fare. [2] [3] Tickets could only be purchased online or calling to an hotline.[4]
The project has been perceived as success based on the large passenger numbers it has attracted. Over 20.000 tickets have been sold within 12 days before the first service run.[5]
Service
editTo lower cost, TrenOK diverted from the service offered by its parent company Trenitalia, offering no delay compensation and only second Class seating [6] (390 seats in ETR 450 train sets). Restrictive booking conditions have been applied, allowing for no refund and change of reservation / train for passengers paying less than €25. TrenOK employees have been paid 17% less than at the parent company, Trenitalia.[2]
