Users could buy and store their train, bus and parking passes or tickets on the phone and also tap RFID tags to check transit schedules.
NFC Times Take:
Despite Keolis’ participation in this small trial in Rennes, it was not apparently set up like competitor Veolia Transport to participate in Orange’s precommercial NFC launch in Bordeaux planned for 2008. Orange canceled the project after Veolia lost its contract to provide bus and tram service in and around Bordeaux to Keolis.
* Trusted Service Manager: Defined loosely to include companies or other organizations securely distributing, provisioning and managing applications, generally over the air, on secure elements in NFC mobile phones; or licensing their platforms for this purpose.
