@beep still think this is odd; I understand they can reach multiple cards but in one transaction (opening the gates) you’d expect only one charge. Maybe to the debit card instead of the public transport card (both are possible in the Netherlands) but not two cards at once.

  1. “Don’t tap the readers with your full wallet. While this is a common practice with the old readers, tapping your entire wallet on the new fare readers raises the risk it could scan and charge more than one card. In fact, T officials say the readers can detect a payment device within 7 inches. So, keep your purses, bags and backpacks away from them, too.”
