This should come in handy.
Rail carrier Amtrak announced that Apple Pay as well as other payment providers such as Google Pay and PayPal are now available options when checking out on Amtrak’s website or when using the Amtrak mobile app.
Roger Harris, Executive VP, Chief Marketing and Revenue Officer at Amtrak offered the following comments as to the new payment options:
“We know every minute counts for our customers and now purchasing tickets is as simple as the touch of a button,” said Harris. “These updates to the Amtrak app and website will offer customers enhanced flexibility and convenience as they book and pay for train tickets.”
Customers who buy Amtrak tickets digitally will present their ticket to conductors to be scanned for a contact-free experience. Apple users can get a full Amtrak experience when using Apple Maps as well, as their routes are included in the transit search.
The Amtrak app for iOS is available for free and requires iOS 11.0 or later to install and run.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
