Paris goes live with NFC transit ticketing

Public transportation users in Paris can now buy and store transit tickets and passes on Samsung and Orange NFC phones — and can use any Android phone to buy a ticket and then upload it to their contactless travel card via NFC. The new NFC ticketing service stores tickets and passes in the SIM in Android smartphones operating on the Orange and Sosh networks or in the embedded secure element built into certain Samsung phones, enabling commuters to use the service even if their smartphone is switched off or out of battery.
