"In December 2008, the Commission submitted a proposal for a regulation concerning the rights of passengers in bus and coach transport. The main purpose of this proposal was to introduce common provisions concerning these rights. This has now been done, and I am delighted that passengers travelling at least 250 km by bus will now have the same EU-wide rights to information, assistance and compensation in the event of a cancellation, overbooking or delay of two hours or more.
Passengers should have the choice between receiving a refund for the price of the ticket or continuing their journey under the same conditions and at no additional cost. If a refund is the only option available, compensation amounting to 50% of the ticket price will have to be paid. Moreover, passengers will also be entitled to compensation if their luggage is lost or damaged."@en1
