Travel by TER Just Go across Europe!

TER Just Go welcomes millions of travellers every year, making travel across Europe not only possible, but also simple and stress-free. In 2022, the SNCF Connect app, which offers the Just Go service, sold 190 million tickets. A figure that clearly shows how important this company is for travel in Europe.

One of the main advantages of TER Just Go is the flexibility it offers. It lets you travel without having to buy a ticket in advance. With the innovative "Just Go" service, you simply check in on the app at the start of your trip, then check out again when you get off the train. At the end of the month, you're billed for all your trips. It's a pay-as-you-go system that lets you pay exactly for what you use.

What's more, if the total amount of your monthly trips exceeds the price of the standard monthly pass offered by your region, Just Go will apply the pass rate instead. This is a considerable advantage for remote workers or occasional travellers, who can thus optimise their transport budget.

Here are some of the main destinations accessible with TER Just Go: - Paris - Lyon - Marseille - Toulouse - Strasbourg - Bordeaux - Lille - Nice - Nantes - Grenoble

The Just Go service is currently being trialled in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region, but there are plans to extend it to other regions of France in the near future.

It's worth noting that since TER fares are set by the regions, there may be variations in prices from one region to another. However, with Just Go, you're guaranteed that the maximum price you'll pay will be that of the monthly pass, which brings some predictability to your transport budget.

Whether you're a frequent or occasional traveller, TER Just Go offers you unmatched flexibility and simplicity for getting around Europe. So why wait? Hop on the train and let Just Go take you where you want to go!

Main destinations of the TER Just Go company

The TER Just Go train company was designed to make travel across France easier. The service is currently being trialled in Nouvelle Aquitaine, however its ambition is to gradually expand to all other regions of France. The complexity lies in harmonising fare structures, as each region has its own policy.

Three major cities served by this service are Bordeaux, Limoges and Poitiers, all located in Nouvelle Aquitaine.

  • TER Just Go Bordeaux: Capital of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region, Bordeaux is a key destination. Trains run regularly every day with fares estimated from 10 euros for a one-way trip.

  • TER Just Go Limoges: Known for its porcelain craftsmanship, Limoges is another important destination. A ticket to Limoges from Bordeaux costs around 30 euros and several TER trains run every day.

  • TER Just Go Poitiers: Finally, Poitiers, famous for the Futuroscope park, is also served by TER Just Go. A ticket from Bordeaux costs around 35 euros.

Features of the TER Just Go service

TER Just Go is based on an innovative concept: pay-as-you-go. No need to buy a ticket before boarding. You check in on the app once you board the train and check out again when you get off, you're located via your smartphone, and your journey is calculated accordingly. At the end of the month, all your trips are billed.

I remember, on my first trip with TER Just Go, being pleasantly surprised by this flexibility and simplicity. No more rushing to buy a ticket before the train departs, it's a real revolution!

Another interesting feature is that if the total amount of your monthly trips exceeds the price of the usual monthly pass, TER Just Go applies the pass rate rather than the sum of individual trips. It's a smart approach that lets travellers save money.

Who TER Just Go is for

TER Just Go is aimed mainly at people who use TER trains semi-regularly, such as remote workers for whom standard monthly passes aren't always suitable. It's also ideal for those who travel occasionally but may sometimes need to travel more, for example during holidays.

Personally, as a remote worker, I found TER Just Go to be a perfect solution. It let me optimise my transport costs and use public transport more often.

In short, TER Just Go is revolutionising the way we use trains. It's an innovative service that offers great flexibility and potential savings for travellers.

Reviews of TER Just Go from our customers

  1. Claire, 35: "I travelled with TER Just Go last summer to get to Brittany. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the seats were and how punctual the service was. Booking on Tictactrip was a real pleasure, easy and fast. I'd highly recommend TER Just Go for your travels, you won't be disappointed!"

  2. Philippe, 50: "I regularly use TER Just Go for my work travel. I particularly appreciate how reliable their timetables are and how efficient their customer service is, always ready to help. However, I'd like them to set up a loyalty scheme to reward their most regular customers. Despite this minor drawback, I'll keep using their services via Tictactrip for my future travels."

  3. Mathilde, 27: "My first experience with TER Just Go was for a trip to Nice. I have to say I was impressed by how clean the carriages were and how kind the on-board staff were. What's more, using Tictactrip for my booking made the process even easier. However, I find the ticket price could be a bit more affordable, especially for students like me. Despite that, I can't wait to travel with TER Just Go again!"
