The Minister added that this “Will mainly concern TGV and Intercity trains, coaches which make interregional journeys, and domestic journeys by plane”. Air travel abroad is already subject to the health pass. “It concerns about 500,000 people per day, he estimated. We will be clarifying the details, in particular with SNCF, in the coming hours. ”

“Fairly systematic checks”

Asked about the control methods, the Minister of Transport gave details and mentioned certain points that still need to be clarified. “More and more people are using the digital format, we are working with Cédric O [le secrétaire d’Etat à la Transition numérique, ndlr] to make the link between reservation and health pass, Djebbari said. At the controls, a number of trains are accessible […] after a filter [de recherche]. There is the possibility, in conjunction with the staff of the stations, the police and possibly with the help of controls on the trains, to set up effective control systems. ” “We are going to have fairly systematic checks, especially at the time of large crowds at the station, and proceed by random checks, including on board”, he added.

Transport users will not be the only ones who need to have a health pass, since it should also apply to all employees. “Who are in contact” with passengers, in all sectors of long-distance transport. “The modalities are under discussion. To take a concrete example, the SNCF controller must have a health pass ”, detailed the minister.
