The lucky bastards in NSW can now use "Express Mode for Apple Pay" on public transport. This means "commuters can skip unlocking their device or authenticating with Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode when tapping on and off as they move through the public transport system". Add your credit or debit card to the Wallet app on your iPhone and you can just tap your phone on the card reader, no need to authenticate and no need to register an Opal card - it even works if your iPhone's battery is flat. Are you watching this, Public Transport Victoria and Conduent? This is the benchmark now. If you launch a "new" Myki and it can't do this, you fucked it.
