• DIGIPASS: Overview

  SNCF will activate Digipass Fare Access Control on October 12th 2020. This project aims to control the Fare right (Droit tarifaire DT in French) during the sale of the title in order to limit the fare fraud, bearer fraud and simplify control on board.

  In concrete terms, SNCF wishes to impose on travellers the claim of the Droit tarifaire , by the mandatory entry of an ID during a ticket sale.

  What’s new for {travellers / arrangers / supervisors / accountants / etc.}?
  With this evolution the discounted fare (travel pass) bookings can be done only for valid travel pass (Abonnement) card holders. Travel pass card numbers can be saved either in User profile or entered on the fly.

  

   

  • In case the travel pass card details is already saved in user Profile, and if TravelPass fares are selected, the TravelPass card number will be prepopulated with the card details from user profile while finalising the booking.
  • If the user profile doesn't have a saved travel pass card number, the card number can be entered in the Finalisation page
  • In case card number is not entered a validation message is displayed
  • In case incorrect card details are entered, booking will fail and error message will be displayed.

    Note:

    Please ensure that all French Rail bookings made before October 12th are ticketed before the SNCF release in order to avoid ticketing failures later.

    If a sales channel has not made it compulsory to enter the "advantage" card or the "Liberté" card when making a reservation before 12th October and if the PNR issuing operation is carried out after on this date, the channel will then receive an error when transmitting PNRs containing a fare subject to fare control.

    The channel will have to take the PNRs one by one to add the card number, and customers may lose their guaranteed price if the PNR is not changed in time.
