Dark patterns in Leo Express website and app
Obstruction of 100% discount fare
In Slovakia, certain groups of people (children, students, seniors, etc.) have the right to register a passenger card that enables them to use certain railway services for free. Some of Leo Express's services fall into this category.[3]
To make use of the 100% discount fare on Leo Express trains, customers have to:
- Register an account, if they are using the mobile application
- Change the language setting to Slovakian on the app or website
- In the passengers menu, enable fares of the Podunasjko region (Slovak: Podunajské tarify)
- In the passengers menu, enable discounts (Slovak: Zľavové preukazy)
- If steps 3 and 4 are done out of order, the discount will be disabled
- Add a passenger corresponding to their age group and click on said passenger (this option is greyed out, but is clickable)
- Select discount within submenu
By contrast, the same system implemented by ZSSK (Železničná Spoločnosť Slovensko, English: Railway Company of the Slovak Republic):
- At checkout, select passenger age group
- Select discount (international discounts are available regardless of language settings)
