	Like [[near field communications]], radio frequency identification (RFID) is a type of [[automated fare media]] used for contactless fare payment. RFID operates in smart cards through a silicon chip that contains memory and communicates with a transponder for payment. RFID offers all the general advantages of automated fare media - reduced dwell time, convenience for passengers - with the added benefit of being applied through open payment systems as credit card and cell phone companies adopt the technology. For example, the Octopus smart card, in use since 1997, in Hong Kong is accepted by a variety of transportation providers, as well as other service providers. About 25 percent of purchases using the Octopus card are used for purchases other than transportation.<ref>RFID Journal.
