@jeremyburge Out of curiosity, if a transit system supporrts credit card payments ar fare gates, why would it not support express mode?
What is required for express mode? Any fare validation sets some bit to indicate iti s a transit system? Or must each transit system be approved by Tim Apple personnally so that IOS will accept that transit system as "express" ?

@jfmezei I gather there is some form of blessing at Apple's end, being a partner and meeting their specs before Express Mode can be enabled for a city's transit card readers. I don't know the full spec sheet. but being compatible Apple Enhanced Contactless Polling (ECP) seems to be a key part of it https://github.com/kormax/apple-enhanced-contactless-polling
