Regional Express Train: Are we finally heading towards a fare increase for the TER?

The Regional Express Train (TER) incurs an annual deficit of 18 billion CFA francs, covered by the Senegalese state to maintain fares. Mounirou Ndiaye, a presidential advisor, revealed that the French Development Agency recommended a fare increase to reduce this deficit, but he opposes it, noting that the service is already overcrowded. The debate focuses on the need to reduce the financial burden of the TER while preserving the accessibility of rail transport.
