In addition to Île-de-France, the SNCF Connect platform now includes payment and validation for tickets from 22 transportation networks across France.
SNCF Connect celebrates its first anniversary but has yet to catch up with the delays at launch. Victim of bugs and not yet comprehensive enough compared to Trainline, the French public platform is gradually improving. Since February 1st, it has expanded its features to include local public transport networks.
Transport for 500 towns on SNCF Connect
It was developed with the support of the startup Airweb. Previously, the app allowed route planning, but now SNCF Connect also enables users to purchase tickets, passes, or travel carnet books. Conveniently avoiding the need to navigate multiple apps. This addition brings 22 metropolitan transportation networks into the fold, including Annecy, Caen, Nevers, Les Sables d’Olonne, and Saintes.
In total, the company emphasizes that this even represents “more than 500 towns”. However, note that it is not possible to book a complete trip if it includes both train and bus segments. Separate payments are required for train travel, independent of regional tickets.
Previously, the SNCF Connect platform had already integrated the purchase of tickets for the Île-de-France Mobilités network. It is therefore possible to buy your Navigo pass or metro and RER tickets directly through the platform.
Here are the 22 urban areas and transport networks accessible through the SNCF Connect app:
- Angoulême (Möbius)
- Annecy (Sibrrea)
- Arras (Artis)
- Avignon (Orizo)
- Beaune (Côte & Bus)
- Belfort (Optymo)
- Bourgoin-Jallieu (Ruban)
- Caen (Twistor)
- Cholet (Choletbus)
- Cognac (Transcom)
- Draguignan (Tedbus)
- Evreux (Transurbain)
- Guérande (Lila Presqu’île)
- Les Sables d’Olonne (Oléane)
- Maubeuge (Stibus)
- Menton (Zest)
- Montbéliard (évolitY)
- Nevers (Taneo)
- Saint-Brieuc (TUB)
