     I'm confused! I understand what you're saying, but while you pay   
   *with* these apps, these apps *themselves* are unlikely to  be paid   
   apps. And these apps have little to do with having a Google Account   
   on/for the phone (other than the already mentioned aspect of automatic   
   updating of these apps).   
      
     Having said that, we also use several apps for public transport (bus,   
   tram, metro, train) both locally and in other countries and both for   
   trip planning and for purchasing/paying 'tickets'.
