FareBot: Open Source NFC Transit Reader for Android, iOS, Web

FareBot is a free, Kotlin‑Multiplatform app that lets you read smart cards from public transit systems worldwide using your NFC‑enabled phone, mac OS card reader, or web browser. Supporting dozens of cards—from Suica, Octopus, and MTR to T‑Union and BTP—to a fully documented code base, FareBot is ideal for developers wanting to learn modern Kotlin tooling or contributors looking to add new systems. The project ships with a simple Makefile, dev‑container for Claude Code, and even experimental WebAssembly support, making it a one‑stop showcase of how open‑source can power real‑world NFC solutions.
