French coach operator first in its sector to accept payments in bitcoins

Coach users have now the possibility to pay for their journeys using virtual money when travelling in France with coach operator Isilines. Isilines, a division of Transdev, has been accepting payments in bitcoins since the beginning of August. In order to make this method of payment possible, Isilines partnered with Paymium, a platform that is specialised in converting bitcoin payments into Euros.

Richard Dujardin, CEO of Transdev said in a statement that this new service is part of the company’s ground-breaking innovation policy currently focused on exploring innovative ways to better respond to customers’ needs.
