Atlanta riders can now add a MARTA Breeze card to Apple Wallet and pay fares with an iPhone or Apple Watch.
Express Mode lets customers tap at fare readers without unlocking or waking the device, speeding boarding across the transit system.
Apple Wallet setup starts from the plus sign on iPhone or Add Card on Apple Watch, where users select Transit Card to load Breeze.
The rollout also extends to riders without a stored Breeze card through the Better Breeze system, which supports Apple Pay for transit purchases.
