Sprint, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), Jack in the
Box, First Data, and Western Union SpeedPay have partnered to allow Sprint phone users to pay instead of tickets or cards using Near Field Communications (NFC.)
The trial is being conducted in
the San Francisco Bay Area from Jan - May 2008. To participate Sprint customers must use BART at least once a week. The Bart pass is paid through Western Union’s SpeedPay system. Participants are paid an undisclosed fee for testing the service.
