The Toronto Transit Commission may have inadvertently said Apple Pay and Android Pay support is coming soon to the city’s transit system Tuesday, though some users say it already works on some routes.

In its final board meeting on Tuesday, the agency said that once the PRESTO electronic fare pay system is fully rolled out across its system, it will support the ability to tap credit or debit cards for single fare payments using Near Field Communication technology.

Though it isn’t guaranteed, NFC support generally means digital wallet payment systems can be used, such as Apple Pay or Android Pay. This means, once the feature is operational, riders will be able to tap their mobile device and pay for the one-time cash fares on the TTC digitally using a supported credit or debit card.

It is unknown when the tap-to-pay feature will officially be available on PRESTO, but some on social media have indicated it may already be up and running for some routes.
