Global payment solutions provider Mastercard has worked with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Road to enable contactless payments on the Gold Coast Light Rail network as part of a new smart ticketing solution.
A survey of 1000 Australians has found that about half (48 percent) are now using their smartphones to make payments, either through use of an app — including mobile banking — or else through other functionality.
Payment solutions provider Mastercard has teamed up with Transport for New South Wales to run a trial of the digital version of the state's Opal card which is used to pay for trips on public transport.
