The reality is they probably used one of the frameworks to generate both the app and mobile website from the same code because it’s easier. So it’s not taking advantage of the fact it’s actually installed on a phone.
Lots of options that don’t involve collecting data:
“Print your ticket at home.”
“Scan this QR code to load the ticket in an app.”
“Here’s an e-ticket barcode you can show at the station.”
“Here is your PIN to access the ticket.”
Well they have to send the tickets somewhere, don’t they?
Probably I should have made clear this is an app. I just expected the ticket will remain in the app.
Ah, that makes sense then.
