There is Europe problem with integrated universal ticket system. There is lots of lobbing against it mainly from France, Italy, Spain

I'm not sure whether a common ticket is a good idea, but I also don't see why this needs to be a barrier. Other than Portugal and the UK, which need to connect through those countries, no other countries in Europe need France, Spain, or Italy onboard to agree to a common system. You just can't travel in those countries with it.

EDIT: Well, okay, and Andorra and Monaco and Vatican City.
