Reply to comment by MoreShenanigans in SEPTA working out kinks in mobile phone ticketing feature by bengalese

Paying at the turnstile/bus door with NFC payment apps would be a nightmare. Takes way too long to authorize.

Paying by those methods from within their app means that Google/Apple takes a stupid-high share of the revenue.

This is not true. I have taken busses in NYC with just Apple Pay and it’s about as quick as getting my key card, with the added bonus of just being my phone
