How to get the as a *chipcard* in as fast as possible

You will need:
- your ausweis/passport
- your IBAN
- 49 euros per month on that account

Go to LVB service center Zentrum, Markgrafenstr. 2. (DB reisezentrum @ hbf are out of chipcards.) I had to queue for ~30 minutes.

@douginamug but you can still get it by just buying a paper ticket in the machine?

@maryjane nup.

Paper version only in certain places, and then only til december

@douginamug

"nup."

Seriously?!?!?

They managed to take something that was so simple > Go to a Machine > Put cash in the machine > get a ticket.
No recurring fee's, No need for ID, or personal data.

And added complexity to it.

@maryjane yep. Digitalisation is Good, didn't you hear?

States don't really seem to care about privacy. Mostly the opposite.

@douginamug

"Digitalisation is Good, didn't you hear?"

"They" keep saying that. But I still need to be convinced :p

"States don't really seem to care about privacy. Mostly the opposite."

Yeah that is true.
