There is this Android app that allows you to read your transit pass to check the balance. It's pretty handy with a Clipper Card, for example. http://codebutle

That said Chicago seems to have the most convenient system along the lines of what you're talking about -- you can use plain old tap and pay at the terminal with Apple Pay or Android Pay.
- maratc 9y agoReading balance is not too exciting, as I said. There doesn't seem to be any Android apps to let your phone function as a transit pass. I understand why it would be cool to let your phone replace your transit pass (as it's cool to let your phone replace your credit card), but I don't understand why it's cool to let your phone replace a transit pass reader.
- cwyers 9y agoBecause I own a phone and not a transit pass reader?
- ben1040 9y agoBecause I often forget how much I have on my card, and tapping my card is easier than logging into the web portal.
