Apple Wallet Support Coming to Manchester's Bee Card
Apple is preparing to allow the Bee Card to be added to the Wallet app, according to code seen by MacRumors.
When this functionality goes live, you will be able to add the Bee Card to your iPhone or Apple Watch and use it to pay your fare for trams and buses in the Manchester, England area. However, the code does not provide any timeframe for availability, so stay tuned.
Update August 5: Bee Network has officially announced the launch of Apple Wallet integration, which is only available for Our Pass users. Our Pass offers 16- to 18-year-olds who live in Greater Manchester the ability to ride buses for free and purchase select tram tickets for half price. Other riders will still need to use regular contactless tap-and-go payments via Apple Pay with a credit or debit card.
