Skånetrafiken activates Apple Pay Express Mode for contactless bus tickets in southern Sweden • NFCW
Apple Pay users traveling on buses powered by Skånetrafiken in the southern Swedish region Skåne can now pay their prices by pressing their iPhone or Apple Watch without having to wake up or unlock their device or authenticate their payment with Face ID or Touch ID.
The public transport operator is the first in Scandinavia to add support for Apple Pay in Express Mode to its contactless ticket system.
– The solution is another step forward to make it easier for people to choose public transport, says Skånetrafiken.
“Express payment enables faster boarding and less congestion, reduces hassle with money, cards or tickets and increases safety and security because passengers no longer need to open their bag or wallet to travel by public transport.
“Remarkably, customers can rely on this payment method even when their device runs out of battery, thanks to the ‘power reserve’.”
Skånetrafiken rolled out the contactless ticket system Blippa, which makes it possible for passengers to pay their prices with their credit or debit card on their buses in December 2019.
