Can I use the SimplyGo app to tap on my phone?

Say Goodbye to Travel Cards: Using SimplyGo on Your Phone is Here!

Are you tired of digging through your bag, searching for your travel card just as the train doors are about to close? Do you dread the moment when you realize you’ve forgotten to top it up? Well, those days are officially over, thanks to SimplyGo!

SimplyGo is revolutionizing the way we travel, ditching the traditional plastic card in favor of a more convenient, digital solution: your smartphone!

Yes, you read that right. You can now use your phone (or even your smartwatch) to tap and pay for your journeys on public transport, making commuting a breeze. Imagine effortlessly gliding through the gantries, your phone acting as your ticket to a smoother, more efficient journey.

How does it work? It’s surprisingly simple:

The magic lies in linking your existing debit or credit cards to your phone’s e-wallet (think Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay). Once that’s done, your phone becomes your virtual travel card.

Here’s the breakdown:

1. Ensure your phone or smartwatch has a compatible e-wallet: Most modern smartphones and smartwatches support contactless payments through platforms like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay.
2. Add your preferred debit or credit card to your e-wallet: Follow the instructions provided by your e-wallet to securely add your card details.
3. Tap and go! When you reach the gantry, simply tap your phone or smartwatch on the contactless reader, just like you would with a traditional travel card. The fare will be automatically deducted from your linked card.

Why is this a game-changer?

• Convenience: No more rummaging for cards or worrying about topping up! Your phone is almost always with you, making it the perfect travel companion.
• Efficiency: Speed up your commute and avoid queues at top-up machines.
• Contactless and Hygienic: In a world that’s increasingly aware of hygiene, using your phone to tap is a more sanitary option than handling physical cards or cash.
• Seamless Integration: Existing e-wallets offer a secure and familiar way to manage your payments, making the transition to SimplyGo easy and intuitive.

SimplyGo isn’t just about convenience; it’s about embracing a smarter, more efficient way to travel. Ditch the travel card, embrace the future, and let your phone take you on your next adventure!

So, next time you’re heading out, remember to leave your travel card behind and let your phone do the work. Happy travels!
