For trains, the control of the passenger health pass will not be systematic. Checks can take place on the platforms, in the trains and even on arrival, at random. At the station, they will be carried out by both SNCF agents and the police. In addition, their organization must make it possible to avoid queues at stations or at the airport. For travelers who have not finished their vaccination schedule, in the event of a positive test three days before departure, Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, was reassuring, explaining that the SNCF is committed to "
reimburse the train ticket
".
The Minister of Transport was confident about the implementation of this measure. He said he did
not
“
anticipate massive problems
” of travelers refusing to submit to them, but warned that the State would be “
intransigent
” on the control and application of the device. The minister was also confident about the application of the measure on the side of SNCF staff, despite SUD-rail's call not to control health passes. The Minister of Transport has indicated that recalcitrant controllers can be moved to other positions.
