Health pass: the SNCF will increase the number of checks during the end of the year celebrations – franceinfo

Checks that will affect one in three trains. A few days before departures for the Christmas holidays, the SNCF will multiply the controls of the sanitary pass at the station, the operator said on Friday, December 10. To streamline station passages, passengers are encouraged to present their health pass before their trip.

To do this, they can go to the site Ready to travel, on smartphone or computer. A green insert, above the QR code of their virtual ticket, will then guarantee that they have their pass. They will be able to avoid the queue at the station and go directly to the gantry, which thus checks their ticket and their pass at the same time.

In station halls, mobile teams also distribute a wristband in exchange for showing their pass, which avoids queuing in front of the platform.

Currently, around 400,000 checks are carried out every week on main lines, or one in four trains. Only 1% of travelers on average show up without a pass.
