NFC is used by smart devices to load information onto a smartcard, but until now, passengers could only load travel tickets bought online to a card through an Android device. This has changed with the release of iOS 13 as the TravelMaster Download App has been made available on the App Store for iPhone users to install on their devices.
A statement from TravelMaster said that South Yorkshire is among the first places in the world to offer passengers the ability to load a travel ticket to a smartcard through an iPhone. As a result, over 95 percent of smartphone users in South Yorkshire, across Apple and Android devices, can now buy flexible multi-operator transport tickets for the region at their own convenience and before they travel.
Matt Smallwood, Director and General Manager of TravelMaster, said: “I am over the moon that we are able to offer our customers the ability to download products bought online through an iPhone. Providing this long-awaited compatibility from day one means that we will be among the first smart ticketing schemes in the UK and potentially in the world to deliver an iPhone-compatible ticket download platform.
