In a recent development, the Bee Card, a transportation option in Manchester, has become fully supported in the Apple Wallet app for all types of tickets on the Bee Network. Previously, the card was only compatible with younger riders utilizing free or discounted Our Pass tickets. Now, the Bee Card can be added to Apple Wallet, making it easier for users to pay for bus and tram fares directly from their iPhones or Apple Watches.
To add the Bee Card to Apple Wallet, users must open the Apple Wallet app on their devices, tap the plus sign in the top-right corner, select "Travel Card," scroll down to the United Kingdom section, and choose Bee Network. After adding the card, users can purchase their tickets directly within the Apple Wallet app and store them on the virtual Bee Card.
Upon adding the Bee Card to Apple Wallet, users can tap their iPhones or Apple Watches on a card reader to pay for their fare on the Bee Network in Greater Manchester. If they enable Express Mode, they won't need to wake or unlock their devices when near the card reader. However, iOS 27 is required to add the Bee Card to Apple Wallet.
