In just a few months, you will be able to travel across the network by simply tapping your bank card on the new Open Payment validators installed on board buses and on station platforms.
These purple validators are currently being rolled out across the entire network, but they are not yet operational.
There is no risk of accidental validation or charging: it is not yet possible to use them.
The full deployment of Open Payment across the CTS network is scheduled by October.
Open Payment validators complement the existing validators. They do not replace current tickets and travel passes, but provide an additional, convenient way to travel using your bank card.
Simplified payment by bank card
The system allows you to pay for your journey directly with:
-
a contactless bank card (Visa, Mastercard or CB)
-
a smartphone using Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay
Fare: €2.10 (valid for 1 hour, with or without transfers)
How will it work?
- Present your bank card or smartphone to the purple validator.
- Payment and validation are triggered automatically.
Where can you find the validators?
- On bus routes, each bus will be equipped with 1 to 2 validators.
- On tram lines + on the G/H bus rapid transit lines, validators will be located on station platforms.
Tickets purchased by bank card can be checked by ticket inspectors using dedicated control devices.
It is also possible to purchase up to 4 tickets to travel together.
