      Hi all,

      Beginning of this month, Germany has introduced a bus/train ticket for 49€ monthly which is valid nationwide. It is already very popular and will be around for a long time.
      Unfortunately, the user has the choice to use either an iOS or Android app. To my knowledge, there is no app for UBports / Ubuntu Touch. The only alternative up to now is the mail order of a chip card.

      Is anyone working on an app for the Deutschland-Ticket / D-Ticket for Ubuntu Touch? Or is there any other work-around to use it on Ubuntu Touch?

        @GT You could try using the Webber app to create your own web app. The only other way is to create your own or hope someone else does. There is possibly the option of trying to use WayDroid if it is installable on your device and the app available through it.

          @Lakotaubp Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, as far as I am aware of, there seems to be no website/online-only version of the Deutschland-Ticket app that I could use to create a web app. There are different providers that sell the ticket (register, buy, and view/display the ticket), but it seems to me that all require iOS/Android apps to do this. It seems to be that there is no web version available. I would be very happy, if someone found web-only access to the Deutschland-Ticket.

              That's about the normal tickets, not this specific special one-month ticket.
              It seems that this is indeed only available in the app; I would personally try Waydroid..

              Is currently using an Op5t
              Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

                @Moem Whoops. My bad. I did say it was a quick search🤓.

                My copy and paste failed. Is this any better?

                  I'm afraid, there is no public developer API. But what I got from https://deutschlandticket.de/ is that you'll get your ticket monthly as PDF file by e-mail. So you can use it without a special app and you can open it easily on UT.

                    @Ian Thanks for the link. I think at Bahn.de you can buy the ticket, but if you want to use the ticket, you either need to use an iOS/Android app to actually use it or they send you a chipcard as letter mail.

                      @Schlicki2808 Thanks, that sounds great. Deutschlandticket.de seems to really send the ticket as PDF.

                      This seems to be a solution at least for 2023, that's great. Whether the PDF/paper version will work from 2024 onwards is unclear. Please see:

                      "Gibt es das Deutschlandticket auch in Papierform? (https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-de/aktuelles/deutschlandticket-2134074)
                      Grundsätzlich wird das Deutschlandticket digital angeboten – also per App oder auf einer Chipkarte. Verkehrsunternehmen, die aktuell noch nicht in der Lage sind, ein solches digitales Ticket bereitzustellen, können übergangsweise ein Papierticket mit QR-Code ausgeben – längstens aber bis zum 31. Dezember 2023.
                      Die Digitalisierung bietet die Chance, die öffentlichen Verkehrsdienstleistungen für die Menschen attraktiver und passgenauer zu gestalten. Gerade in der ÖPNV-Branche besteht hier ein großer Nachholbedarf. Ein digitales Deutschlandticket ist ein wichtiger Schritt für die weitere Digitalisierung des Sektors."

                        @Schlicki2808 After seeing that deutschlandticket.de has terrible ratings (1.7) on Trustpilot and co, I looked for alternatives. There is another provider that sends the Deutschlandticket on PDF: https://deutschlandticket.hsb-wr.de/ A first contact via email was very positive.

                        Edit: I have already received the Deuschland-Ticket for July as PDF.
                        Edit2: I really can recommend HSB https://deutschlandticket.hsb-wr.de/ for the Deutschland-Ticket. The purchase was easy. The email contact with HSB service was very friendly. I got the ticket as PDF file by email. It was easy to cancel the ticket subscription (I needed the ticket just for one month) with one mouse click from my HSB profile. I instantly got a confirmation of the cancellation by email.

                          @GT Oh, thanks for the information. Then, I would go the same way, I think 🙂
