Bahn 1/4: #STIBMIVB 81 to Brussels South #ijzerunion

I'm impressed! I didn't think it was possible to screw up buying a ticket public transport online as much as the #STIBMIVB app does for #MOBIB. The single point of buying a ticket online is to _avoid_ interacting with the machines. And I shouldn't need to create an account, much less supply a date of birth. Just let people buy the ticket in the app and use #NFC to load it like a remotely sane online ticketing system would. This literally misses the point of basic cards. 🤦

#FOSDEM #FOSDEM23

So, I wanted to put a ticket on my #mobibcard before I headed to ULB for the first day of #FOSDEM.

I installed the #STIBMIVB app, clicked on "wallet", and... it wants me to create an account. OK. Seems unnecessary just to buy a ticket, but I guess it's for card storage.

It wants my date of birth for some reason. OK. Seems unnecessary if you have a basic card.

I buy the ticket...

...and the stupid app requires me to use a ticket machine/validator to load the ticket within 24h.

🤦

I must say by the way, that the social media team of the Brussels public transport company is doing an excellent job mainly on Twitter, but also on Facebook. I hope they will soon join us on Mastodon too. #mivbstib #stibmivb

Since the social media team of the Brussels public transport company is still not operational on Mastodon, we may have to inform each other if there are any problems or trivia about public transport in the Brussels-Capital Region.
