在倫敦坐地鐵可以「刷瓶進出站」？

最近，倫敦的通勤族又多了一種支付地鐵票的方式。

上周，倫敦交通局與能量飲料Luzozade聯合推出了一款底部內嵌了無接觸支付晶元的新裝飲料，並在高峰時段免費派發給通勤的上班族們。只要手握這款飲料，一樣也可以在倫敦的Oxford Circus「刷瓶出站」。

本次活動為時兩天，得到了包括英國多位名人的支持和推廣。

據統計，倫敦每天的通勤支付總數高達100多萬次，只要依靠的正是無接觸支付交通卡。而倫敦地鐵對於這種數字支付方式的大力推廣也得到了英國各界人士的廣泛認可。

Commuters passing through Oxford Circus tube station will be able to tap and pay for their journeys through the London Underground using a contactless chip embedded in the base of a bottle of Luzozade in a promotional initiative between Transport for London and the energy drinks brand. Team GB gymnast Nile Wilson, Britain』s Got Talent finalists Twist and Pulse and ballet star Alessia Lugoboni have been enlisted to promote the campaign, which will run for two days with thousands of the contactless bottles pressed into the hands of thirsty commuters during the rush hour - or whoosh hour as it s been renamed by Lucozade s marketing team.

Ashleigh Roberts, senior brand manager at Lucozade Energy, says: 「In a city that』s always on the go, we』re giving Londoners an extra opportunity to get where they need to be in a fun and unique way.」

More than one million journeys a day are paid for using contactless cards and the tube has been widely credited with popularising the technology across the UK as a whole.
