Worldline, a global leader in payments services, brings passengers Express Transit for Apple Pay to make travelling on TCL (Transports en commun lyonnais) transport network even simpler. From today, passengers can just tap their iPhone or Apple Watch on the transit readers and go.

Travelling more easily than ever

Passengers don’t need to unlock their iPhone or double-click the side button to travel across the public transport network. In addition, with Power Reserve, passengers can travel and tap to ride for up to five hours after the device runs out of battery.

This means faster boarding for passengers, less hassle with money, cards or tickets and increased security, as passengers no longer need to open their purses or wallet to travel on public transport.

Lyon is the largest Open Payment French network to use Express Transit with Apple Pay and TCL’s transport network is the biggest in France to bring innovation and convenience to passengers.

The “TCL Carte Bancaire” service that enables Open Payment on the Lyon transport network was launched earlier this year, based on Worldline's Tap 2 Use solution and readers. The Open Payment system is continuously improved so today Express Transit for Apple Pay is available to enhance the passenger experience in Lyon.
