The SNCF Connect application now makes it possible to buy and validate transport tickets directly with your smartphone from 22 networks of medium-sized cities such as Angoulême, Annecy, Avignon, Caen and Saint-Nazaire, said SNCF Voyageurs on Wednesday, which says it wants to extend soon its radius of action.

This service deployed with the start-up airweb allows you to buy your local transport ticket (single ticket, booklet, package or periodic pass), to validate it by scanning a QR code when boarding and possibly to present it to the driver or controller , the company said.

integrate new agglomerations

A person from Caen can thus book his trip to Paris by TER and buy via SNCF Connect a t+ ticket from the Ile-de-France Mobilités network to travel by metro in Paris, or even an Orlybus or Roissybus ticket if he wishes to get to the airport
