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.

 

I agree. Pretty poor article. I know whatsapp payment system uses qr codes and is huge in china.

Is that what this is?  Who knows

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