Samsung announced a major expansion for its Samsung Pay transit card feature. More cities across several countries now support this service. Commuters can use their Samsung phones or watches to pay for buses, trains, and subways. This move makes paying for daily travel easier and faster.
Users simply tap their Galaxy device at transit readers. They don’t need to carry physical cards or cash. The payment happens quickly through NFC technology. Samsung Pay works even if the phone’s battery is low. This is a key advantage for travelers.
The expansion includes many new locations. Major metropolitan areas in Europe, Asia, and North America are part of this rollout. Samsung aims to cover more transit systems globally soon. This effort fits Samsung’s goal of simplifying digital payments everywhere.
Using Samsung Pay for transit offers convenience. People skip long ticket lines. They avoid losing physical cards. Travelers manage their transit spending digitally. It integrates smoothly with Samsung’s Wallet app. Users see their transit payment history alongside other expenses.
Samsung Pay transit uses the same security as regular Samsung Pay. Tokenization replaces card details with unique codes. This keeps payment information safe. Samsung Knox security protects the device itself.
“Making daily commutes smoother is our focus,” said a Samsung spokesperson. “This expansion brings secure, contactless payments to millions more riders globally. We want people to move through cities effortlessly.” The company highlighted user demand driving the wider availability.
