This service expands the range of available purchasing methods:

Contactless payment does not take into account student and senior rates.
It does not allow multiple validation. One payment card (or connected object) = one traveler. It is not possible to use your payment method for several people at the same time.
Simply present your payment card or the connected object used during validation
The operation is the same as that of the single ticket.
- Within the same commercial network, the contactless payment method must be validated each time you board, even when connecting.
- In correspondence, validation must be done with the same support as that which made the first tap.
- A new payment with contactless support is required to use another commercial network.
