It must be possible to buy a ticket that has at least one of the following properties:
1. It is not linked to the times when you use it (flat-rate/monthly ticket). Payment may be linked to your name.
2. It is not linked to your identity (pseudonymous numeric ID). Payment must not be linked to your name.
Otherwise it's easy to track when you travel which route.
And obviously, facial recognition must be forbidden.
- szszrk 2y agoPlenty of places, including my current city, have time-based tickets only. So even for the shortest ones you have to validate only once, while you can have a much longer trip. Daily/weekend/weekly are even better, and monthly/quarterly even while they tied to your name, don't have to be validated in any particular place at all. You can do it far from any vehicles.
