Tapping on and tapping off is now more seamless for public transport users in NSW as Express Mode for Apple Pay comes online.
The major upgrade to the Opal ticketing system allows users to tap on and off without needing to unlock their iPhone or Watch first.
Transport for NSW undertook a staggered roll out of Express Mode across the 25,000 card readers on the Opal network, starting with ferries and light rail, then train stations, and then the thousands of Opal readers on buses, which finished this week.
Express Mode for Apple pay is supported on iPhone and Apple Watch running iOS 16.4 or
later. Users should add their card to Apple Pay, then set an “Express Travel Pass” card in settings.
