Based on SIA’s technological infrastructure, the service is connected to all the contactless cards- compatible POS terminals at 113 stations in the Milan subway network.

The system was first launched in the Italian city of Milan by ATM and is currently used in various cities including London, Chicago, Singapore, Moscow and Vancouver.
