To be fair, this is probably just a bad translation / bad phrasing.

I expect what they mean by this is "to continue without signing up"

It's a pretty common pattern on ecommerce sites. You can sign in with an account, or you can make a one-time purchase without an account.

And of course if you don't have an account they still need somewhere to send the confirmation (and in this case, probably send the tickets)

Step 1: Go to station ticket office

Step 2: Tell ticket agent where you want to go

Step 3: Give cash to ticket agent

Step 4: Receive ticket

Not very anonymous, they can see you.

Wear one of those hats that cover your face in shadow so that only your eyes are visible.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but then batman comes after you.

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

It's such a double standard.

The whole "vendetta against crime" thing was a complete exaggeration, he's really just going after everyone biting his style.

Btw purchasing a transit ticket in Naples is optional, only 2 out of 5 people pay for it

Well they have to send the tickets somewhere, don't they?

[-] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

Probably I should have made clear this is an app. I just expected the ticket will remain in the app.

[-] plm00@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago

Ah, that makes sense then.

[-] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

The reality is they probably used one of the frameworks to generate both the app and mobile website from the same code because it's easier. So it's not taking advantage of the fact it's actually installed on a phone.

Lots of options that don't involve collecting data:

"Print your ticket at home." "Scan this QR code to load the ticket in an app." "Here's an e-ticket barcode you can show at the station." "Here is your PIN to access the ticket."

And so on.

They probably need some kind of token of authentication, bit In not sure what other methods they could use that would be better.

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

A random number that is displayed only once and it's the buyers responsibility to record it.

[-] Fermion@feddit.nl 1 points 1 week ago

Additionally, generate a downloadable pdf or similar with qr code containing whatever info needed to verify the ticket.
