There are too many viruses and Trojan horses, and a total lack of security, to dare putting personal information on a network or a PC. The problem of cost, quality, lack of knowledge regarding quality-price ratio of security software, are all factors that play a role on this front. Finally, the electronic payment culture is too unstable, and even marketable, to expect a big change in this area in the short term.

Hello, I work for a travel agency and I confirm that in terms of ticketing, many customers do indeed purchase tickets online now, as they can pay with national credit cards, and the prices are much cheaper. The only drawback is that if there is a problem, nobody can help you. Best regards, Stéphanie.
