From October, all First Manchester vehicles will accept contactless payments thanks to Ticketer’s Electronic Ticket Machines (ETMs).
Ian Humphreys, MD of First Manchester, says: “The introduction of contactless payments alongside our success with mobile ticketing is pivotal as we continue to make bus travel a convenient, simple and attractive experience for our customers.”
Contactless payments mean that customers will not need to worry about having the right change. It will also help in the longer term to speed up bus journey times.
Ticketer MD John Clarfelt adds: “Our team is working in full partnership with the project team from First Bus in order to complete the installations within an extremely tight time frame. Our aim is always to make bus travel easier for everyone.”
