Our Ticketer ETMs support Apple Pay’s Express Travel feature, which enables passengers to pay contactless using their iPhones or Apple Watch without needing to unlock the phone with Face ID, Touch ID or passcode.
This means passengers do not need to remove their face mask or gloves when purchasing or validating their ticket.
What is it?
Apple Pay uses the iPhone or Apple Watch NFC technology to communicate with Ticketer ETMs in order to either pay using a saved payment card or validate a saved travel card. Previously this required the user to unlock the phone or watch using Face ID, Touch ID or by entering a passcode. Apple’s update now allows the user to make travel payments without unlocking the phone.
