In a groundbreaking move for European public services, Toulouse has announced it will accept cryptocurrency payments for its public transportation system.​ This initiative follows Detroit's earlier adoption of crypto for tax payments.​

Key points:

  • First European city to implement crypto payments for transit
  • System will be integrated into existing payment infrastructure
  • Follows growing trend of municipal crypto adoption

The implementation demonstrates increasing mainstream acceptance of digital currencies in everyday transactions.​ This development could serve as a model for other European cities considering similar initiatives.​
