You can pay for the subway by phone, but you can't transfer to busses just yet (or vice versa, or do any out-of-system subway transfers). Though I expect we'll have a Metrocard app within the next few years that does allow for that.

You can get the free transfer with a card, just not with applepay, googlepay, etc. (I think this is because those systems randomize the card number. Obviously, if you want the free transfer, you have to use the same credit or debit card.) The app to engage OMNY ( the subway's system) directly is forthcoming supposedly in 2021, as is the ability to use unlimited cards through the app. Right now many of us still have to use a metrocard as a result.
