I went on my first Interrail trip last year. It was a single country trip though. Can absolutely recommend it!

Is it Interrail if it's just in one country? Isn't that just a normal rail pass then? :P

Not all countries have a rail pass and not all countries offer a 100% discount pass. And even less offer a 100% discount on all trains and for non residents

Right, but then "Inter" = "Borrowed from Latin inter- (“between, amid”), a form of prepositional inter (“between”)".

Seems more like parent did Intrarail to me.

OMG.. are we really doing this? T_T It’s just the marketing term….

“Interrail One Country Pass allows unlimited rail travel within one participating country, excluding the holder’s country of residence.”

It’s a way of reinforcing eu identity.. they call it interrail because it connects you to other cultures or societies or whatever you want to call it

		> OMG.. are we really doing this? T_T It’s just the marketing term…. Quick one-off jokes that commentators on HN take way to literally and start a whole diatribe about? I mean, apparently :D Relax, it's only a joke, I have no issues with Interrail and use it myself from time to time too... Not sure I'd agree it has anything to do with European or EU identity, but anyways, I guess some do :)
