I'd love it if you could check your city (if it's listed) and particularly note if I have the correct flag for "Express Transit Mode" (✅supported or ❌ not) or any other detail. There's a corrections link on the site, but feel free to just send feedback here if easier. And if you have a city with both support for both contactless AND express mode and it's not listed, do let me know. Those take priority over cities with just Apple Wallet, or other app-based tickets. https://expresstransit.com

@jeremyburge Portsmouth supports it on its buses, seems like all cities that Fist run in support it now I’ve looked it up https://www.firstbus.co.uk/buy-tickets/ways-pay/contactless-payments

@jeremyburge Lyon does support Express Transit Mode! They even have a support page for it on the transit authority's website: https://www.tcl.fr/assistance/tcl-carte-bancaire/a-quoi-sert-le-mode-express-de-mon-smartphone-apple News article covering when it first rolled out: https://www.macg.co/mobilites/2022/12/apple-pay-transport-express-est-active-sur-les-transports-en-commun-lyonnais-133305

@jeremyburge I’m confused about what is the difference between Express Mode and just tapping a card? I was in Singapore and just tapped my card and it worked fine, but that’s not Express Mode?
