Dallas adds digital wallet payments to contactless transit ticketing system

Passengers using buses, trains and streetcars operated by Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) in the Dallas-Fort Worth area can now make contactless fare payments with their debit or credit card or from a digital wallet on their NFC-enabled mobile device.

DART has added the option to pay with a debit or credit card or digital wallet to its existing contactless ticketing system.

The system supports credit and debit cards issued by Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, as well as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay and Fitbit Pay on an NFC-enabled smartphone or wearable device.
