American Express Canada and TransLink have announced that riders can now pay for fares with American Express.

Cardmembers can now tap their Canadian contactless American Express Card or their mobile wallet to pay at TransLink fare gates and on buses to get around the Metro Vancouver area. American Express cards can also be used to purchase fares at Compass machines, online or by phone.
"We're always looking for ways to improve the customer experience. Offering more payment options, especially options that are fast and convenient, is something we know our customers appreciate," said Kevin Desmond, CEO, TransLink. "We are thrilled to now accept American Express Cards throughout our transit network."
