I love Express Mode, especially when visiting a new city and I can just tap to ride the metro, bus or tram.
In general, cities aren't very proactive at advertising when it's supported. Ads might say you can 'tap and ride' or use contactless, but rarely mention Express Mode (formerly Express Transit Mode).
As a project, I’ve been building a site to document which cities support this, and which do not:

This project currently focuses on cities that are popular with tourists, and gives precedent to cities with a subway or metro over places with only buses. I have also selfishly included more cities that I have visited or have direct knowledge of. Though some cities I have had to rely on research from local transit authorities and rely on what they say.

@gklka Ez faszsag. Folyamatosan zaklat a Maps az Express transit reklamjaval, ha olyan helyen vagy, ahol ez elerheto. KIKAPCSOLHATATLANUL. Legalabb 20x talalkoztam ezzel.

@jeremyburge Helsinki info looks correct. (I usually use the HSL app.) But what is "Express Transit Mode"? Could the site have an explanation or link?
