French term

se poursuit pour des prix

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) in study on travel habits
Maybe I've just been at this too long but I can't see why the benefit gained from the very advantageous prices of the train are followed by very low prices, unless... etc. Can anyone help. Sorry if I'm being dim...

L’effet des offres train avec restriction est peu différent entre les deux marchés. Sur le marché allemand, le bénéfice tiré de prix très avantageux du train se poursuit pour des prix très bas, alors qu’il atteint un pallier aux alentours de 40€ pour un prix de 2nde classe sur le marché français.

ridiculously redundant, that sentence!

Agreed, Jo: it does seem to repeat itself. I'd just rephrase it with the core idea of "low fares".

i think the article means both markets tend to come to the same prices, so the german revolves on low figures while the french is staying definitely on the low figures.

cf explanation

I understand from your previous question that it is an issue of market analysis between train and airplane (if I remember well).
When you decrease unit price, you hope to get additional customers and you have a benefit if this new customers outweight the decrease in unit price.
In Germany this works for very low prices, meaning that you gain sufficient number of new customers to off set the unit price decrease.
In France there is a 40€ threshold below which you do not gain sufficient additional customers to increase overall sales.
