100,000+ MasterCard cardholders using Apple Pay will be able to travel for free across the Transport for London (TfL) network for four consecutive Mondays from 23 November to 14 December 2015. The "Fare Free Mondays" campaign will allow passengers to touch in and out of the network, covering Underground, bus, DLR, tram and National Rail services in the capital, with fares of up to £27.90 refunded by MasterCard. TfL is also offering a special discount on all Travelcard purchases made at its stations over the weekend – including those made during Bank Holiday weekends - as part of the campaign. According to Mark Barnett, President of MasterCard UK&I, TfL's decision to accept contactless cards and devices on London Underground has played a "phenomenal" role in the growth of contactless payments with Apple Pay across the UK, "we want to encourage travellers on London's transport network to try it out and give them another option to pay for their travel".
