Surely “the rest of BC” doesn’t include Vancouver…

Seriously. All I want out of Translink is tap to pay with my phone. I don’t want wristbands or keychains. I want an app, and I want it to work with my phone’s wallet.

This is great! I'm fine with an initial tap-for-Umo-wallet with tap for credit card later, too.

About time! Anything to make the rides shorter.
