very normal in Russian metro to pay by tap pay
its small amounts and nobody wants to hand over a small coin each time
Progressive but first world has transportation cards
most places outside the cities inm UK are third world tier in terms of payments
cash only
some demand exact change
london and surrounding areas like reading are fine
all take card
Obviously you wouldn't be able to pay with bank card at a transport card sensor
you can in london
all buses take card
and only card
In one reader?
yes
you can use either transport or credit/debit card
I saw the same thing in poortugal and paris too
That's nice, here they have separate reader for transportation card and separate for debit
it's pretty quick too
takes like a second for the green light
even with cc
i think first bus got card now in surrey and berkshire
here in AU you can but not on buses
honestly, transport card was fine
taipei was the same but you could use the transport card to pay in a good number of stores just like a cc
contactless is more convinvent though
and big advantange in london as it lets you ignore the $$ london transport is
That sounds like a great way to milk people out of money actually
contactless is still best yea

eventually worked
