post related to my last question about Deutschland-Job-Ticket and avoiding google, a company the transportation authority seems to have a deal with.
Some of you have suggested I download a pkpass file. Great!, let me download something so I can save it to my phone!
Nope, the google icon I pasted in my first post (see here as well) simply redirects me to a google service to CREATE A F&#(#&% ACCOUNT WITH THEM!!

I just learned what a pkpass file because some of you seem to know this technology, but ain't it an apple technology?
Second question is, how widespread is the use of pkpass in Germany for travel documents and for android devices? I don't know if most of the people answering this question are people not residing in Germany.
And yet another question, if I send an email asking the transportation authority what kind of technology they use for travel documents, if they provide any alternative to google or any way to download the ticket in either pkpass format or any other format that doesn't require me to give my personal data to a data grabber, if they provide plastic travel cards to people that won't allow their data to be used by google, what are the chances they won't ignore me or outright laugh at me?
When I cross the Atlantic I pdf or screenshot the plane ticket. Never had a problem. Why can't this be like that?
pkpass is extremely seldom used here. I stumbled upon that format once or twice and I think I could import the files into Catima on Android.
Normally your transport association has it's own App, like for example the DB Navigator, where you log in with your account and besides from looking up trips, your ticket is stored.
People could help you better if you told us the city/region.
Depends highly on the region. I can use it with Ride/RMV, and have used it f.e. with Lufthansa and other airlines.
