"Bringing the rights of bus and coach passengers into line with those of rail and air passengers is, of course, an excellent intention. Nevertheless, I abstained because in my opinion, the text does not go far enough.
Indeed, limiting to 250 kilometres the threshold for compensation in the event of a major problem means effectively excluding three countries of the European Union. Yet a simple derogation mechanism for the countries concerned could easily have been introduced. More generally, bus and coach passengers are, on the whole, less well off. Since mobility is an issue that comes up often, it would have been a good idea to send them a message concerning much shorter journeys than 250 kilometres."@en1
