London commuter app Citymapper is set to expand its contactless transport pass to more parts of the capital.
The Citymapper Pass was introduced in February to cover travel on the Tube, buses, trains, Santander bikes and its own Citymapper Ride shared taxi service in zones one and two.

The pass interacts with the app to plan out journeys and act as a payment system.
Citymapper has announced the pass will be expanded from today to also include zones three and four.
The price of the weekly pass is cheaper than buying the same product from Transport for London (TfL). TfL are paid the shortfall by Citymapper.
However, Citymapper president and head of business Omid Ashtari said the pass was not losing money and that prices would only increase in line with TfL increases.
“We’re super excited we have a business model that is working and is adding value to users’ life,” he said.
“Private cars are unsustainable and we really want to do something about it and we want cities to be easier to use.”
Ashtari said the pass will continue to expand to include different modes of transport in the future.
“It will be a more multi-model future and we want to make it as painless as possible,” he said.

“A lot of stuff is happening in this space, like e-scooters.
“I don’t know what future regulation has been planned [for e-scooters], but I do believe they would de-facto expand the public transport system.”
