Express Transit is an Apple Pay feature that lets you make a payment without unlocking your Apple Watch using Face ID or Touch ID. Thanks to Express Transit, you can now make a transaction at a transit gate just by tapping your iPhone or Apple Watch. But first you have to set it up. This article shows you how.
Where Can I Use Express Transit?
Apple has a web page that it updates with the countries and regions that support the feature. As of writing, Express Transit works in the following places:
- In mainland China with Beijing Transit cards and Shanghai Transit cards.
- In Japan with all forms of transit that accept Suica.
- In London with Transport for London (TfL).

You can also set up Express Transit to work on your watch, so long as it's running watchOS 5.2.1 or later. You can check what version you're running by going to General -> Software Update in the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Launch the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap Wallet & Apple Pay.
- Tap Express Travel Card.
