Metro staff are now testing Fast Fare cards on in-service buses.
Cards are just tapped on the fare reader, and the signal light will turn green.
Only a small amount of Metro employees are using these cards.
The new FastFare system will officially launch at the end of August.
More details will be shared soon.
