🆕 New in Metrodroid.
📜 MIFARE Classic: not compatible with all devices - you need a device NXP NFC chipset to read this.
🗝 Encryption keys are required to read this card.
🇸🇬 CEPAS not compatible with all devices (ISO 14443-B).
🆔 Only the card number can be read.
🇮🇪 Encryption keys are downloaded from the operator.

You require a NFC-compatible device to read cards.

Some agencies have encrypted cards. You need to acquire encryption keys to read them, which are generally unique to each card. Sorry, I can’t help you with this.

Metrodroid and its authors are not affiliated with and public transit agency. Other agencies’ cards using Cubic Nextfare or ERG on MIFARE Classic may also work.

For more details about permissions required, please see the privacy policy.

This is a fork of Eric Butler’s Farebot, with support for additional cards and bug fixes.
