Apple Pay Express Mode Comes to Edinburgh Transport
Commuters in Edinburgh can now enjoy a faster and more convenient travel experience thanks to Apple Pay Express Mode. The feature is officially supported on Edinburgh Trams and Lothian Buses, allowing passengers to pay for rides simply by holding their iPhone or Apple Watch near a contactless reader—no unlocking or authentication required. This rollout makes Edinburgh one of the few UK cities, outside London and Manchester, to adopt Apple’s seamless tap-and-go payment system.
How Does Apple Pay Express Mode Work on Edinburgh Trams and Buses?
Express Mode enables users to bypass Face ID, Touch ID, or passcodes when paying for public transport. Once a debit or credit card is set up in the Apple Wallet’s Express Travel settings, travelers can tap their device against the reader, and a checkmark confirms payment. The system automatically calculates and caps daily fares, ensuring passengers get the best value on every trip.
Why the Update Matters for Edinburgh Commuters
For regular travelers, the integration of Apple Pay Express Mode into Edinburgh trams and buses means shorter queues, faster boarding, and fewer missed rides. The convenience is especially useful for tourists and locals navigating Scotland’s capital, where contactless systems now make public transit more efficient than ever. It also aligns with the city’s ongoing push toward cashless, sustainable urban mobility.
