Because this topic came up in c/technology and I was wondering.
Would this be feasible? How bad would it be to your social life?
I’m looking for these scenarios:
-
No smartphone, but have a dumbphone and a computer
-
No phone at all, but have a computer
-
No smartphone, but have a dumbphone, no computer
-
Nothing at all
Why would they lock out tourists from public transport?
it wasn’t intentional. they just didn’t think about how to implement it. took them four or five years to fix.
I guess it depends on how you needed to sign up to buy tickets, but I bought tickets on my phone in Sweden with my smartphone in Sweden with only a valid email address. The app even had an English mode.
yeah it works nowadays. didn’t when they first introduced it.
And did you have a payment card that worked in Sweden? Or was it not needed?
You needed a payment card of some sort.
