Yeah, might test bus later. I actually use a corporate pass where my company pays for all my PT travels so not a lot of incentive to keep playing this thing :s22:

Video got cut but detection was fast with AW3 on a Go-Ahead S’pore bus. Given that this is a newly registered card, their ops are downloading the list of allowed cards nicely (have encountered hit-and-miss on buses before using physical MasterCard under ABT).

it's quite weird you have hit and miss with physical Mastercard ABT, to me Physical Mastercard abt is more reliable........the consistent rate is like 99.5%.........of course it's not that fast

you cut in the middle or front.....it's looks as if less than 0.5s :s13:

the question is....are you able to have consistently tap for more than a week :)

just curious, how did you take those video??? body cam? or using a phone to record?

record with phone. i think watch is consistent due to a clear defined area for tapping, whereas with phone it can be a hit and miss. will try phone with another device and test. anyway not worth using it for a week as i have a corporate cepas card :s13:

you mean clear defined area on the watch or on the Bus reader?

i guess you would be able to test then they start the trial for cepas as well

i tried using my apple watch yesterday and it was unsuccessful.
the amount of stares from holding the line behind is something that can be felt.
i quickly take out my physical card and used it instead.
Notice some side glares and some making the "tsk" sound. LoL

after which, i noticed my apple watch no longer unlocks when i unlock my phone.
so i manually key in the passcode and the watch is in a "hang" state.
no updates nor notifications came in.
i have to force shut down and reboot my watch.

I guess the pay app on watch just got stuck in the background since my last tap.

how long were you trying to attract those glare and "tsk" sound lol~

it's funny how i never encounter those when i tried.....maybe i am deaf to the surrounding =:p

Below EWL station but near entrance to CCL. Remember to show this on your phone screen so they know what you want.

actually even don't need to show that......just mention want to register phone for mobile payment trial......they won't even bother to look or ask for it.

how long?
1st try unsuccessful, the fellow behind me already bump into me
by then the 1st stare was from the guy.
and while i reach into my pocket for the physical card, those behind were already impatient and i could hear some one "tsk"

:s13:

Oo, what I mean how long were you standing there trying?

You probably standing there like 5-6s?:s13:

Last time what I would do is, within 2s no respond, either I move Abit let behind queue tap first, then try again later or I switch to card straight away

To me anything slower than card is consider failed

in another thread about ABT for physical mastercard "Mastercard tap in TransitLink", some forumers reported that their paypass function spoiled after a year of ABT usage and need replacement. not sure what's the reason. is it the card antenna cannot support too frequent usage, or there is a max limit of taps, or bus/mrt readers spoiled it? :eek::s13:
