🆕 New in Metrodroid.
📜 MIFARE Classic: not compatible with all devices - you need a device NXP NFC chipset to read this.
🗝 Encryption keys are required to read this card.
🇸🇬 CEPAS not compatible with all devices (ISO 14443-B).
🆔 Only the card number can be read.
🇮🇪 Encryption keys are downloaded from the operator.

You require a NFC-compatible device to read cards.

Some agencies have encrypted cards. You need to acquire encryption keys to read them, which are generally unique to each card. Sorry, I can’t help you with this.

Metrodroid and its authors are not affiliated with and public transit agency. Other agencies’ cards using Cubic Nextfare or ERG on MIFARE Classic may also work.

For more details about permissions required, please see the privacy policy.

This is a fork of Eric Butler’s Farebot, with support for additional cards and bug fixes.

Ratings and reviews

Metrodroid is an excellent NFC smart card reader, with a strong focus on transit cards. Using a supported card with Metrodroid is easy, and it's even possible to view info that's stored right on the card itself. As a fork of Farebot, Metrodroid provides additional supported cards, and even some NFC based cards that are not specifically used for transit. In any case, Metrodroid is a useful NFC reader to view the info stored on many different transit cards and other NFC based cards.

I saw the latest release from GitHub. Is that the latest stable release or should I stick to the updates here in the Play Store? BTW, yes, it now works with Ez-Link. Also, the bug that used to stop the history from clearing is fixed.

Just installed it on a Pixel 3XL. Doesn't work! Tried tapping my Clipper card every which way but Sunday but got no reaction from the app, no confirm that it had read the card or even an error msg.
