Yeah I’ve experienced that as well, at least you can’t go wrong with a card - literally Tap & Go.

The only problem I have with them is when topping up a Mersey Weekly on a Walrus/MetroCard, it’s such a faff to put the Walrus card on, then swap to payment card, swap again to the Walrus card to add the ticket, then tap it again to register the journey.

That is one of the biggest slow downs on a Monday morning and I wish there was a way to streamline it, as Stagecoach seem to have it down well.
