Mastercard has partnered with Aurionpro Transit, a leading global provider of smart ticketing and payment systems, to provide commuters with a next-generation contactless payment method for public transport.

Commuters will be able to tap-and-go using any digital wallet paired with a Mastercard card, making travel simpler, faster and more efficient. Mastercard’s open-loop solutions ensure commuters can utilize the same digital wallet across all transit modes and in numerous cities, eliminating the need for multiple cards or regular top-ups.
