​ Since finishing school, I’ve been using my phone (Visa via Google Pay) for public transport to keep things simple. However, on the last two buses I’ve boarded, the reader gave me a "Card Not Accepted" message.

What's weird is that I used the same card through Google Pay at IKEA in between those two bus trips and it worked perfectly, so I know the card and my phone's NFC are fine. I called my bank and they said they aren't even seeing a transaction attempt on their end when I try to tap on the bus.

Has anyone else had this issue with Google Pay or digital wallets on the bus lately?

Edit: card is great southern bank if that helps
