Expired Transit passes
Stay organized with collections

There's an "Expired passes"
section in the Google Wallet app that contains all archived or inactive passes.
A pass is moved to the "Expired passes" section if at least one of the following
conditions is true:
- The
object.validTimeInterval.end.date
has passed. The pass moves to "Expired passes" within 24 hours.
- The
object.state
field is marked as Expired
, Inactive
, or Completed
.
The following code sample demonstrates expiring a pass object using the Google
Wallet API.
