What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Traffic Ordinance and the Railways Ordinance to require public transportation operators (buses, national rail and local trains) to allow passengers to pay fares by credit card as defined in the Banking Law. The aim of the bill is to make it easier for passengers, mainly occasional ones, to pay for their trip without needing to download apps or buy a dedicated card in advance. The amendment takes effect nine months after the law is published, to allow the required technical systems to be put in place.
