How to set up Apple Pay Express Mode for the London Underground

Apple Pay is becoming one the most preffered and secure way to transact these days. You can use it pretty much everywhere and now the London Underground is no exception to it.

Now travelling London through its underground network is more convinient as Apple Pay now supports and that too without having to use Touch ID or Face ID authentication.

Customers just need to look for the yellow contactless card reader, simply tap and go with either your iPhone or  Watch, no need to hold up the queue while travelling in London.

Express Mode is available on all transport services in London, including Trams, Buses and Underground, says Apple.

Express Transit has been a feature since iOS 12.3 but it requires partnerships with the transit networks in order for the feature to work. Apple announced the new support for the London Underground today with a new web page and sending out notifications to iPhone and Apple Watch users in the United Kingdom
