• 400 million deficit on Intercity
The Intercity deficit will rise in 2016 to 400 million euros for the train and to a lesser extent to the state. Their attendance dropped 20% since 2011, according to Alain Vidal, Secretary of State for Transport. Of all of the deficit recorded by the Intercity network in 2016, 25% comes from night trains carry only 3% of travelers. Which requires the state to subsidize every ticket sold to the tune of a hundred euros on average.
