Metrolinx is adding Apple Pay support to Up Express in Toronto.
Tapping a PRESTO device with an iPhone or Apple Watch will activate a terminal.
Metrolinx is in the process of adding support for Apple Pay to Toronto's Up Express. The feature will allow users to pay for their fare using an Apple Watch or an iPhone.
As first reported by 9to5Mac, a new pilot program will allow people to tap a PRESTO device to pay via Visa, Mastercard, and American Express thanks to Apple Pay.
"Our customers have asked for more ways to pay, and we're so excited to roll out the next stage with PRESTO contactless payment on UP Express," said Metrolinx President and CEO Phil Verster. "We are eager to build on this launch and deliver this to our customers around the region."
