With Open Payment, transfers between different modes of transportation, such as from one bus to another or from a bus to the metro, are automatically accounted for. When you validate your trip using your contactless bank card, smartphone, or connected watch, the system collects taps and determines if it's a first boarding or a transfer. If you switch modes of transport within the designated transfer time, the system recognizes it as a continuation of the same journey and adjusts the fare accordingly, without requiring you to validate again. This ensures a smooth and optimized travel experience, guaranteeing that you only pay for the entire journey without any extra charges for transfers.
