I don't speak French so this is what google gives me: "yes for stations 
that have a possibility of payment and ticket printer (registration 
shortest possible time in these stations)."

First of all I don't understand why this tag covers payment, when we 
have payment= which can be used in many ways.

Then I assume you always need some kind of ticket for the bike?

So then it depends if you just want to set payment:ticket (or something 
like that) on the station or do you include the vending machine, because 
then you might as well just set payment:cash=yes (I mean if I got to a 
cinema I also don't tagg it with vending=yes, because i can get the 
ticket right there and pay with cash). The stations where you can't do 
this are then different, because payment:cash=no. Maybe we should then 
consider a new value for payment like only and then you set 
payment:vcub_ticket=only. At least I think that is the direction this 
should be going.
