Public transport service 9292 has started a trial to let users buy e-tickets via the app. The feature is now available to 1200 users of the Android app, but should be available to all users later.

This payment option comes from Tranzer, a company that has long been selling e-tickets for public transport. The tickets are slightly more expensive than with carriers themselves, because 9292 and Tranzer charge a service fee for the use of the service, 9292 writes.

The function comes in a button at the bottom of the app after giving a travel advice. According to 9292, the advantage for users is that they no longer have to pass a ticket machine to buy a ticket. They can order an e-ticket directly with this function after filling in the data.

Buying e-tickets from the app is now only available for Android, but will also come in the iOS version of the app. After the pilot, of which it is unknown how long it will last, 9292 will put the e-ticket function live for the general public in the app.

Update, 08/07/2020: That it initially only concerns train tickets on the train for one-way journeys in second class, as initially stated in the article, is incorrect, according to 9292. Tickets are also for sale for other carriers: “We sell the tickets for the entire travel, even if you travel by bus, tram, metro or ferry. This way you really have the entire journey in one app. “
