One in eight contactless journeys in London now made with mobile phones

More than 55% of all payments in the London transit system are made via contactless instead of the legacy Oyster card, according to TfL figures for early April provided to PaymentsSource. More than 21.6 million journeys per week are made on London public transit using contactless payments. More than 53,000 new contactless cards or new mobile contactless payments enter the TfL each day, and one in eight contactless journeys come via Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or other mobile wallet apps.
