Looking for an alternative to google wallet, when it’s the default option to download a German travel card.

a year ago by springs283 to c/android

I now reside in Germany and my current employer pays 50% of this so called Deutschland-Job-Ticket. There is no physical card but travel information you download to an android wallet, but apparently google wallet is the only available option. See the picture:

Google is a company I don’t trust with my data, neither do I expect your regular public transportation authority employee to care about his privacy (he looked at me as I was asking if 2 + 2 equal 4). I am not aware of non google based wallets where I can download the travel information.

I tried some f-droid and droidify options but it turns out they’re pure crap.

The site: https://abo.ride-ticketing.de/app/ I log in with my username and password, get my travel information and on the bottom the picture I uploaded.

Any workarounds?

This being Germany, shouldn’t there be an alternative to those who refuse google? Don’t I have that right as a consumer?

Another question: I screenshot my logged in session on the link I provided where you see my qr code and my billing data. The public transportation employee told me that’s not allowed (wtf?). Can anyone here provide a rationale?

Reading the snippet reinforced my suspicion that I'm not able to read German

I use FossWallet for my Ticket. I was able to download the ticket on the platform my company uses and import it there.

Perhaps PassWallet?

I use fWallet. Works just fine, but you will have to be able to download the pkpass file and import it into the wallet: https://f-droid.org/...

Is there a trick to getting pkpass files? I've noticed lots of apps wont even give me a link to the iPhone file with an android phone.

I don't know, but for me it just worked when I clicked on the google wallen option. Since I don't have google wallet it just downloaded the pkpass instead.

When I run into this, I enable an extension in my phone's browser to change the User Agent string to mimic an iPhone.

90% of the time it works every time.
