Riders can now pay for Paris metro passes with Apple Pay
What you need to know
- Apply Pay now works for the Paris metro.
- Riders can pay for their passes through the metro app.
As reported by iGeneration, riders can now charge their Paris metro cards with an iPhone using Apple Pay. The feature rolled out a week ahead of schedule with the latest update of the app.
According to the report, feature availability across iPhone models is currently spotty. When it completely rolls out, however, it should be available for iPhone 7 and later models running iOS 13 or later.
The outlet reports that the second phase of the rollout, which will let riders add their passes to the Wallet app, is still being figured out.
The rollout in Paris comes after New York, which recently finished rolling out Apple Pay support to all of its buses and subways.
