Comment One potential issue (curious about solution) (Score 2) 62

I took my son to London and had a great time using the Underground and the bus system. Paying with contactless credit card was very convenient. And the payment cap per day was nice. But I was left wondering about one potential issue.

What do you do if one of you doesn't have a credit card or smart device/phone with payment system? Fortunately, I had two credit cards (we didn't have a data plan in London). So no real problem for us. It still left me wondering what would people do if they a payment method for each person? i.e what if you are riding more than a few times and hit the payment cap due to swiping multiple times per ride. Seems like either a chance to be accused of fraud. Or actual fraud.

What would happen to, say, a class field trip visiting NYC? I'm genuinely curious what people do in those edge cases.

Yeah cool. Tell me what does Amazon get in return by knowing that you tore down the extra wall between the kitchen and dining areas? They going to sell you something with this knowledge? No. All they "do" with it is allow their robot to vacuum that area. The horror. Having your device do its job. Lol
