I now reside in Germany and my current employer pays 50% of this so called Deutschland-Job-Ticket. There is no physical card but travel information you download to an android wallet, but apparently google wallet is the only available option. See the picture:
Google is a company I don’t trust with my data, neither do I expect your regular public transportation authority employee to care about his privacy (he looked at me as I was asking if 2 + 2 equal 4). I am not aware of non google based wallets where I can download the travel information.
I tried some f-droid and droidify options but it turns out they’re pure crap.
The site: https://abo.ride-ticketing.de/app/ I log in with my username and password, get my travel information and on the bottom the picture I uploaded.
Any workarounds?
This being Germany, shouldn’t there be an alternative to those who refuse google? Don’t I have that right as a consumer?
Another question: I screenshot my logged in session on the link I provided where you see my qr code and my billing data. The public transportation employee told me that’s not allowed (wtf?). Can anyone here provide a rationale?
I use fWallet. Works just fine, but you will have to be able to download the pkpass file and import it into the wallet: https://f-droid.org/packages/business.braid.f_wallet
Is there a trick to getting pkpass files? I've noticed lots of apps wont even give me a link to the iPhone file with an android phone.
I don't know, but for me it just worked when I clicked on the google wallen option. Since I don't have google wallet it just downloaded the pkpass instead.
OK thanks
