Apple Wallet: Support for restroom vouchers yes, Germany Ticket app (further) no


Finally (almost) no more paper: If you want to go sanifer in the future, you can even take out your iPhone or Apple Watch and use the wallet integrated into it to overcome access controls. Another popular iPhone application, Hansecom’s official Deutschlandticket app, still comes without the long-awaited support for Apple’s digital map storage.

The parent company of the Sanifer toilet series, Autobahn Tank & Rast Gruppe GmbH & Co. KG, has further optimized its digital infrastructure and now allows so-called Sanifer value vouchers to be easily saved and used in Apple Wallet (as part of the solution For) . This improvement follows similar support for the Android counterpart Google Wallet. “With the expansion of iOS devices, all common mobile devices are now supported,” happy Tank and comfort.

What is confusing is that it is currently assembled with a piece of cardboard. Because when the toilet voucher is purchased from the machine, it comes to the customer on deadwood. The QR code printed on it is scanned and posted through a website called qr.sanifair.de Prepared for Apple Wallet, receipts can then be digitized and deposited with just one click. The cardboard pieces can be recycled. However, this waste can already be seen in Tank & Rast: they are working on “not printing vouchers when issued using QR codes, if desired.” Then toilet access should end up directly in the “digital wallet”.

While Sanifare, one of the big players in the card storage, has moved into the arms of Apple Wallet, there is still a problem with another popular app that is actually related to card storage: Hansecom’s official Deutschlandticket app, a Service providers of many public transport companies have still not managed to support Apple Wallet – although it was expected from 2023.

The company admitted to Mac&i in January that there were “no technical reasons” for this. It was said at the time, “The provision of Deutschlandticket in the wallet is an important feature that we will introduce in the Deutschlandticket app in the future. Implementation is planned for 2024.” There are still three months left in the year.
