Apple Pay for transit launches in Singapore, expected for New York, other cities later this year

If you’re headed to Singapore, this’ll come in handy.

Commuters in Singapore can now use Apple Pay for their travel needs.

The service went live at transport locations there Thursday.

Apple has stated that travelers in Singapore can use the service on “all forms of public transit that accept Mastercard credit and debit cards.” Transport operator TransitLink has stated that Visa users will also be able to access the service later in 2019.

In addition, New York City is expected to be issuing a pilot program for the use of Apple Pay for transit later this month. The service should be rolled out to additional metro lines later this year. Users in both Chicago and Portland should soon be able to add their Ventra and Hop cards to the iOS Wallet app in the near future.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
