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?
I think you mentioned this was RIDE, right? Have you tried the desktop site or contacting support? Because I definitely got a .pkpass from them for a ticket. In fact there was a button right under the Google Wallet option
yes, a RIDE affiliate or something. I'll be contacting them now
