NatEx WM has had 1m contactless payments since its introduction in April.
On 17 September, an unknown customer made the millionth contactless transaction.
Tom Stables, MD of NatEx WM, says: “We trialled this system in Coventry in February. In the first two days, a fifth of adult cash passengers switched to contactless.”
“People like it because they don’t even have to work out what ticket they need. They just tap a bank card on the reader and it works out the fare for them. The first tap pays for one trip. Then, however many more trips you make that day, you will never be charged more than an adult day ticket. It really is that easy – and it’s always the same price as the adult cash fares.”
