Pay for your metro ticket in cryptos with Tisséo

Since March 2025, users of the Tisséo network in Toulouse have been able to pay for their tickets in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, Ethereum Or the Solana, directly from the Tisséo Android mobile application. This initiative, made possible thanks to our partnership, marks a first in Europe for a public transport network.

Crypto is coming to transport: a first in Europe

Tisséo, public transport operator in Toulouse, is once again demonstrating its commitment to innovation by becoming the first European network to accept cryptocurrency payments. This advance is part of an effort to simplify the travel experience and adopt the latest financial technologies.

Users can now buy various tickets, such as tickets for one trip, ten trips, the 31-day pass, as well as Planet and Event tickets, using their digital wallets. The procedure is simple: selecting the ticket in the application, choosing the cryptocurrency payment, generating a QR code, and validating the transaction via the crypto wallet.

Tisséo paves the way: when crypto becomes an attractiveness tool

For Tisséo, this initiative is attracting new customers, especially cryptocurrency holders, and reinforces its position as a leader in innovation in public transport. It could also inspire other cities, such as Cannes, which is aiming for mass adoption for its retailers. For users, Pay in cryptocurrency offers increased flexibility, especially for those who prefer digital payments. Transactions are fast and secure, reducing the risk of fraud compared to traditional methods.

When innovation rhymes with adoption: Lyzi propels crypto into the heart of daily life

This partnership could serve as a model for other transport networks in Europe such as Navigo. This collaboration between Tisséo and Lyzi testifies to the desire of both entities to meet the expectations of a young, connected clientele that is adept at new technologies. In France, approximately 12% of the population owns cryptocurrencies, a figure that is constantly increasing. Lyzi, a major player in cryptocurrency payments in France, offers an intuitive and secure solution, already adopted by more than 400,000 points of sale. Thanks to Lyzi, cryptocurrency transactions are instantly converted into euros, eliminating the risks associated with the volatility of cryptoassets for traders and public service operators.

If Tisséo's experience is successful, cryptocurrencies could become a common option for other public services, transforming daily payments.

Tisséo and Lyzi, pioneers of a fast-growing crypto ecosystem

The alliance between Tisséo and Lyzi is redefining public transport payments. Tisséo is taking a decisive step by accepting Bitcoin, sending a strong signal towards the secure and gradual adoption of cryptocurrencies in public services. With Lyzi, the future of payments promises to be fluid, secure and resolutely digital. Stay connected to discover the next innovations from Lyzi and its partners!
