Passengers can now use contactless payments on all Translink trains and buses.
Translink has announced that it has completed the roll-out of contactless payments across its entire network.The head of Translink, Chris Conway, said the development was "another key step to deliver customer-led, innovative ticketing with a focus on ease of use, simplicity, convenience and integration".“We are encouraging more passengers to take advantage of convenient contactless ticketing which will help reduce cash payments and speed up boarding times," Mr Conway said.
Translink said the on-board technology is compatible with smart device wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, Visa and Mastercard contactless credit and debit cards, as well as pre-paid contactless cards. Mr Conway said the completion of the roll-out was "timely" ahead of the opening of Belfast Grand Central Station in the autumn.
