So, what's next? They are attempting to externalise the cost to the customer, so that the pays for the storage medium (a smartphone) and its connectivity. What's interesting from a technology-watcher's point of view is that the railways don't have the slightest idea how this is all going to end up, let alone how to get from here to there. Since ITSO from 2009 we've had numerous pilots: barcodes on phones using MMS or other generic technology, barcodes on phones delivered by a special app, combined credit card and Oyster (to combat 'card bloat'), trying to second guess the ticketing cost by examining your location trails, NFC on phones [basically turning the phone's back cover into a smartcard], and even embedding a traditional smartcard in the phone. The only one that's showing staying power is Contactless Credit Cards. Hmm, I wonder if that's planned to work with any third party pay-by-phone contactless technologies [from Apple Pay via Google pay to quirky ones like PayQwiq - pass the siqwbag], other than *just* Visa/Mastercard? https://tfl.gov.uk/fares-and-payment...ethods-of-cont actless-payment/apple-pay They must have slipped that in without me noticing. Where on the gate is the Apple-pay logo? Not needed if a reader does contactless it does Apple or Android pay https://tfl.gov.uk/fares-and-payment...ethods-of-cont actless-payment/android-pay https://tfl.gov.uk/fares-and-payment...ethods-of-cont actless-payment/barclaycard-and-barclays-contactless-mobile -- Mark |
