Apple Pay (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-pay/) is coming to New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority on May 31, reports TechCrunch (https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/29/nyc-subway-riders-will-be-able-to-swipe-in-with-apple-pay-starting-friday/?guccounter=1). The rollout means people will be able to use <!---->Apple Pay<!----> with the new tap-to-pay fare system on the buses in Staten Island and the 4, 5, and 6 subway lines between Grand Central Station in Manhattan and Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

To use <!---->Apple Pay<!----> on the MTA transit, you'll need an iPhone 6s or SE or later, and have the latest version of iOS (12.3) and watchOS (5.2.1) installed. After you've registered a credit or debit card, you can then take advantage of the new Express Transit NFC feature, which allows you to tap your iPhone or Apple Watch (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/) against the fare reader to pay and go.





The system is currently limited to single-ride passes, so users of daily, weekly, or monthly passes aren't able to use <!---->Apple Pay<!----> yet. However, additional fare options are due to introduced by late 2020, when the MTA expects to have rolled out <!---->Apple Pay<!----> on all subway lines and buses, according to TechCrunch.
