English term or phrase: Bus Card--in Spanish
THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS--and I am not sure what the meaning of bus card is in this context.

The NFC antenna is located on top of the rear camera.
To use it, put the camera area of your phone near a card reader or card, in the same way that you use your bus card.

LATER IT SAYS:
(1) Use your phone as a bank card or bus card.
Can I use NFC to top up my bus card?

Anybody heard of a BUS CARD in this context? Is it a Business Card, or a Card for Bus transportation? Thanks so much.

neutral  JohnMcDove: Certainly is a "bono de autobús" in Spain, however here is referring to the actual card (tarjeta), not unlike to a "credit card" or similar... I.e., "un bono de autobús" could be just a piece of cardboard... /./Sure, but the "object" is the "card"...
54 mins
  -> Currently, the "bonos de autobus" sold in Spain are rechargeable, (usually they incorporate a chip, similar to that of a bank credit or debit card). They can be recharged in machines, or at kiosks.
