Manchester Bee Card is now fully supported in Apple Wallet
In August, Transport for Greater Manchester announced that the Bee Card could be added to the Apple Wallet app on iPhone and Apple Watch, but it was limited to young passengers using free or discounted ‘Our Pass’ tickets. However, as of this Tuesday, the Bee Card is now fully supported in Apple Wallet for all Bee Network ticket types.
To add the card to Apple Wallet, open the app, tap the plus sign in the top right corner, select ‘Travel Card’ (may appear as ‘Commuter Card’ for some users), scroll down to the UK section and choose Bee Network.
Once the card is added, you can buy bus and tram tickets directly in Apple Wallet and store them on the virtual Bee Card. Then, when traveling on the Bee Network in Greater Manchester, you can simply tap your iPhone or Apple Watch on a card reader to pay for your ticket. If you enable Express Mode, there is no need to wake or unlock iPhone or Apple Watch when you hold it near the card reader.
iOS 27 is required to add the Bee Card to Apple Wallet.
