Austrian Federal Railways have introduced a new compensation scheme for railway delays. According to this scheme any delay exceeding 1 hour will entitle passengers to a refund of 20% of the payed fare. If the delay should lead into arrival after midnight, passengers can also claim for refund of taxi or accomodation fees up to EUR 80. However, this scheme falls behind expectations as EU commission had demanded a refund of 50% for delays exceeding 1 hour or even 100% for delays exceeding 2 hours.
