Starting with 18 May, passengers can use Android Pay on their mobile phone to travel on TfL services, including the Tube, buses and trams, as well as most National Rail services in London, following its wider UK launch.
To use Android Pay, customers just need to download the app from the Google Play Store and set up their account with their bank card.
TfL then calculates the best fare for each day or week, depending on where and when customers have travelled. The costs of all journeys a customer makes are then added together and, if appropriate, daily and weekly caps are applied.
`Contactless payments have been a huge success with more than 400 million contactless journeys made already across all TfL and most National Rail services in London, using cards from over 80 countries. As more people see the benefits of this quick and easy to use technology, we’re confident the number will increase even more,’ Shashi Verma, Chief Technology Officer and Director of Customer Experience at TfL said.
