N OUIGO 10-Car Set, SNCF
OUIGO(A coined word sounding like “We go”.) is a high speed passenger train service started in 2013 targeting mainly youngsters and families. Not only were all the train cars made 2nd class cars, but by employing non-ticket system like in airplane service and making in-train services charged options and setting the fairs so low as busses or car sharing, it appeared as an “LCC (Low cost carrier) high-speed train version”. At the beginning, it started from Gare de Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy, the closest station to the large theme park in the Paris suburb, but currently starts also from the metropolitan terminals and major stations.
