Abstract
Implementations of the present specification disclose a fare payment method, apparatus, and device. In one aspect, the method includes: receiving, at a terminal device supporting host-based card emulation (HCE), an HCE-based routing instruction from a fare collection device of a public transportation system; establishing, by the terminal device, a near field communication (NFC) connection with the fare collection device in response to the routing instruction; and transmitting, by the terminal device, payment-related information of a user of the terminal device to the fare collection device through the NFC connection, wherein the payment-related information is to be verified by the fare collection device, and wherein the fare collection device is configured to: verify the received payment-related information of the user; and in response to a successful verification, deduct a fare from an account of the user based on the payment-related information.
