French operator SNCF has previously asked passengers to self-declare as ‘Monsieur’ or ‘Madame’.
The EU’s top court ruled on Thursday that requiring rail passengers to declare a gender when buying a ticket is in breach of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Wonder if it was a weird cost thing, like it’s ridiculously difficult/costly to change their ticketing infrastructure to cope with this?
Probably not “ridiculously costly” but companies like cheaping out on… well, everything.
