How to choose an Express Travel Card

No power? No problem.

Whether you’re working overtime or staying out all night, Express Mode can still get you home. Keep travelling up to five hours after the red Power Reserve icon appears.⁠*

Keep journeys private.
And payments secure.

Apple never tracks your journey. And if you lose your iPhone or Apple Watch, you can lock your card remotely. Express Mode is just for TfL services — all other payments still need Face ID or Touch ID authentication.

Cashless made effortless.
