I use my mobile phone to pay for my ride on the 6 to and from work every day. It is so easy and convenient to use. I am purposely frequenting merchants who accept PayPass. While I have used it at Duane Reade and CVS, there are many merchants in Grand Central who accept it as well –The two fish markets in the Grand Central Market food shopping area. Hot and Crusty at the 42nd and Vanderbilt entrance and Caffé Pepe Rosso on the lower level center area. I have gotten some looks and smiles from cashiers at the check-out counter. They ask what kind of phone it is. I tell them but add that it is trial technology and the phone cannot be bought yet since it is just a prototype Nokia phone. It is very convenient to use since I always carry my phone with me and now I never have to take out my card or wallet or sign for purchases (if under $25) at selct merchants In addition, it seems the NYC Subway trial has been extended through 2007.
