New Jersey Transit began letting some commuters pay for fares using smartphone sensors set up by Google Inc. at locations including New York’s Penn Station.
The public-transit system is the first to partner with the company on its Google Wallet “tap-and-pay” system, which gives businesses access to credit-card information when a customer waves their phone over a sensor to make a purchase. The near-field communication technology is in use at retailers The Container Store, Foot Locker and Macy’s, according to Google.
