The CNMC has assessed the economic equilibrium of Ouigo's services in comparison to the existing public services provided by Renfe Viajeros on the Madrid-Segovia-Valladolid route. The analysis concluded that while Ouigo's services are not interchangeable with conventional and high-speed media distance services, they may impact the competitiveness of Avant services for occasional travelers. The CNMC recommended a review of the public services scope to optimize offerings for different traveler segments.
