This decision addresses the terms under which SNCF Connect can sell Île-de-France Mobilités transport tickets through its mobile app. It concerns digital mobility services that let users buy public transport products through apps and other online channels. The decision matters for mobility platforms, transport authorities, and operators because French law gives digital mobility providers a right to access ticketing sales systems for contracted transport services. Any access contract must be reasonable, fair, transparent, and proportionate, with the transport regulator able to settle disputes when the parties cannot agree.
