I've never heard of it before.

When there is a football match for example they open the
barriers and implement something called "autocomplete".

That means the system in effect touches you out of the system
automatically without you having to do it. Sensors pick up cards
going through the barriers.

See my point elsethread about contactless debit card payment being
REALLY STUPID.

The problem is that to make sure your journey is completed by
the system you have to touch in at the same station within three
days. Or you get a maximum fare.

Because everyone always travels the same route in reverse on their
return journey.
