I now reside in Germany and my current employer pays 50% of the 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?
They are usually just .pkpass files, so any app that can show them should work. Most likely the “Hinzufügen zu Google Wallet” link will also work since it just links to the pkpass file. But be prepared to get asked if it is a screenshot a lot. I am using passandroid (further down this thread) and it works.
That is Apple wallet. Google is a cloud thingy.
Sorry i dont follow? Google Wallet also supports pkpass files and i doubt that they use anything else. That would be so much harder for no gain.
Nevermind i saw the follow up post, how fucked up is that. I apologize for my misdirected advice.
