You gotta set one of your cards in the Wallet app on your phone to allow Express Transit, then you don't need to authenticate with Touch ID/Face ID. You don't even have to wake it.
For future reference, you don't stick the entire back of the phone onto the screen....you just point to it, or lay the area around the camera(that's usually where the NFC chips are in phones) on or near the screen.....I used it twice today with no problems.
Clearly the owner of the smartphone has NO idea where the NFC is placed on a mobile device. Which is always on the top end, where the back camera is at.
@@jayee88 Actually, it is true. I have proven it myself at many many stores where I dont even have to come 2 cms close to the reader. If you dont believe me, try it for yourself and see.
Express transit is supported if the Device Account Number associated with the card is present in the database at the time of transaction. Express transit mode works by challenging the device to present a transit pass. In the case of iOS 12.3+ there is ability to set any credit card as an express transit pass, a mode known as EMV Express Transit. The problem with this is that if you have not used your device card once (by way of EMV transaction, which is your usual face/touch id payment) your DAN is not stored, so when the reader interrogates your phone, the response of “this is a pass (on this system)” is met with “ no it’s not”. The next time you use THAT card on THAT phone, with Express Transit enabled for that card, it’ll work as Express Transit is meant to.
Exactly. The NFC antenna on the phone is at the top near the camera. And the scanner on the OMNY reader is clearly at the bottom under the screen. The screen itself is for informational purposes.
I agree I used it on an express bus and it wasn’t so fast to find my card. But I like the idea of being able to use credit card now. No need to refill metrocard!
Machine Domanda I meant the swipe tech. That’s the process no longer up to date. In fact, Cubic wanted the MTA to go with the tap method, like what WMATA and others use for their cards. However, the MTA insisted on going for the swipe method. Cubic was right on their part. However, either way, you are correct.
I say credit cards are so many times better than phones. Although, they are hard to scan and identify via a One Metro New York app phone in Staten Island.

Is it safe? What if you accidentally tap somewhere?

Thank you for explaining this! This was a huge help :)

The newer iPhone's NFC chip is so strong that in this case, it shouldn't matter
@@coshiro1 False. That is not how NFC works.

About time!
Grew up with using the metrocard and it's going to be weird seeing it go in 4 years but I'm excited for this to grow as well ‼️
I grew up with tokens. Still miss them
@@richardnoble7170 I don't miss tokens anymore, and won't miss the Metrocard either
@@Richard-pf5xs
I like the option of coins though. Most fun way to pay 💰
That was funny when the person was trying to tap their phone too many times on the reader! XD
How do you get the discounted unlimited pass on this?
Gonzalo Militar There will be physical cards coming out in 2021.
This is basically Apple Pay? Do I have to download an app
Daisy Patron no, open the wallet app on your iPhone
0:18 is that OMNY card?
Yeah looks like it. Didn’t realize they had them.
It’s more user error then anything else. You’d think they’ve never used Face ID before.
thats a good thing, I guess the person is not a dumb sheep...
@@dna5585 is that a joke?
Hey sorry I forgot my phone today
Is this really that much faster than a damn metrocard?... give me a break. If it has a dicoint for using it then fine. But if not. Dumb
Yes.
Also it is not dumb. Other transit systems, including our neighbors in DC, have similar technology.

You can tap a contactless card through your wallet if you only have 1
Their was nothing wrong with the metrocard.
Tony DNY The swipe errors are way too abundant. Also, the tech is totally out of date.
@@TheRailLeaguer actually every state does this beside us it's new tech so you mean up to date with modern world

And it’s already broke
