(12) In the context of the sale of tickets for the transport of passengers, Member States should take all necessary measures to prohibit discrimination on the basis of nationality or residence, regardless of whether the passenger concerned is present, permanently or on a temporary basis, in another Member State, unless the passenger concerned is in an irregular situation or is banned from travelling freely on the grounds of the need to protect public order. Those measures should cover all covert forms of discrimination which, by the application of other criteria, such as residence, physical or digital location, may have the same effect.
