The readers they use for Oyster card, and the specifics of Oyster Card's requirements for the NFC transceiver are probably quite different from VISA/MC. The US has many transit systems that use contactless too. Off the top of my head, from years ago: Atlanta, D.C., New York, Las Vegas, and that was in '06.
- mynameisvlad 10y agoYou can use contactless across TfL services as of a few months ago.
- matthewmacleod 10y agoSorry, I did mean "contactless credit cards" rather than "generic contactless system" – the word "contactless" is almost exclusively associated with payment cards in the UK. TfL's network has supported direct use of contactless payment cards for > 6 months now, so Apple Pay (and the Android equivalent) support comes for free.
