CTS LAUNCHES OPEN PAYMENT PILOT PHASE ON LINES C3 AND G

Buy your ticket directly with your bank card!

It is now possible to purchase your travel ticket directly with your bank card on board buses on line C3 and on the platform validators for line G.

📅 This pilot phase will run from 23 February to 20 May 2026.

For line G, each stop is equipped with a single test validator. Whatever your direction of travel, you can use this new technology.

 

Open Payment validators complement the existing validators. They do not replace current tickets or travel passes but provide an additional, simple way to travel using your bank card.
