The buses and ferries currently accept a distant cousin of tap, so you don't NEED to have coins: you do need to download an app and pay for a ride via the app, or purchase several tickets at a discount via the app. When the time comes to take transit, you activate your ticket and it triggers a moving QR code which you scan on the bus or at the ferry terminal... I think one of these tickets is active for two hours, but I'm not sure - on most occasions I've used it, I was able to go to/from my destination on one fare.
