Just how does this thing work then?

Do you point your phone at a bus? Do you scan something it the airport? How do you pay? Can you still use cash?

Very lacking in detail for us dinosaurs.

More lazy reporting. And maybe the reporter hasn't got a clue how it works either and couldn't be bothered to find out.
