Finally! Android phone users who are sick of their smug Apple-owning friends swiping onto public transport with their phones and watches, can now swipe away themselves. Android Pay has launched in the UK and is accepted on London public transport.
You can use it for Pay As You Go journeys and it works the same way as Oyster and contactless. Tap in and out with your phone and the system works out the right fare — including capping on a daily and weekly (Monday to Sunday) basis. Watch this video to see how Apple Pay works:
Android Pay can be used on the tube, buses, trams, most national rail services, cable car and Thames Clipper river bus services. To find out more, see Transport for London's website and the Android Pay website.
