Member & User Benefits

The TSGA is offering quality check services for all kinds of data that needs to be exchanged for business, such as tariffs and timetables. It is aggregating all relevant reference data for all international mobility services in rail and notifying the companies of changes.

The TSGA has a solid working relationship with ERA, the European Commission, UIC, RNE, IATA and others doing overhead work for the services they provide to them.

The TSGA services support a high level of quality, meeting the needs of the sector while keeping the passenger in the focus, closely connected to the CER Ticketing Roadmap.

Members are vital for data sharing, seamless experience for passengers and to become the main body for exchange of reference data.

Ultimately, the TSGA will be a data hub for all regulatory services and more, with an added value system for railway undertakings.

By joining the TSGA, railway undertakings will therefore:

  • Become part of a ticketing flag-ship initiative enjoying the support of the European Commission and the current members’ top management;
  • Demonstrate a broader commitment to make the Single European Railway Area happen;
  • Acquire a leading role in the management of the regulatory services and related business-driven activities that are useful to advance European railway data management, distribution and ticketing;
  • Strengthen a non-discriminatory access-to-data eco-system;
  • Enjoy full TSGA voting rights;
  • Gain full access to the one-stop-shop for TAP TSI regulatory and related business-driven services free of charge;
  • Comply with regulatory requirements and enjoy the rights resulting from relevant European regulations.

Since most TSGA services have been up and running since autumn 2019, new members will get access to well-tested and well-maintained solutions with an established roadmap for enhancements and further improvements. In a nutshell, new members will be able to use the TSGA services without significant modifications to their own processes, systems and data processing architectures. Thanks to the standardisation and consolidation of data and related services by the TSGA and thanks to the powerful, easy-to-connect-to API in place, users can enjoy the benefits of membership in a swift and uncomplicated way.
