More than 30m journeys made using NFC mobile phones across London

More than 31m journeys have been made using NFC mobile phones across Transport for London’s (TfL) network in the last 12 months, the transport operator has revealed. 40% of all pay as you go journeys across the network are now being made using contactless — up from 25% in early 2016 — with almost one in ten of these being made using a mobile device. In all, more than one billion pay as you go journeys have been made using contactless payment cards across TfL’s network, the company adds, with an average of two million contactless journeys now being made every day.
