Advantages of cashless payments on public transport
Convenient to pay. You don't have to fumble in your pockets for coins or banknotes and wait for the collector to give you change.
Payment is made quickly. Bring your NFC-enabled device-smartphone, smartwatch, or card - to the validator. Once you have paid, you will receive a payment confirmation notification in the bank's app or by SMS.
Cashless payments are considered one of the safest payment methods. Payment can be confirmed by biometrics.
