Frankfurt Widens Its NFC-Enabled Transit Network

Rhein-Main Verkehrsverbund (RMV), the mass-transit authority in Frankfurt, Germany, and the surrounding region, is expanding its use of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology so passengers can use mobile phones to purchase and store tickets, and to check schedules. By year's end, the authority plans to install NFC tags at 700 bus, tram and train stops, as well as at the city's airport, providing Frankfurt the widest NFC-enabled transit network in the country.
