Hold your contactless debit card, credit card or mobile against the yellow card reader on the bus and - bleep! - you are checked in. After your trip you check out in the same way, with the same card. It's that simple. It is similar to contactless payment in the supermarket. The difference: you also check out at your destination.
Make sure you have contactless payment enabled and that you remove your card from your wallet when checking in and out. This way you can check in with the card you want.
