Yes, because the readers are being modified to accept these as a pseudo
Oyster.


I think presenting two different cards always caused a problem. It's the
Achilles Heel of virtually every RFID card implementation.

On the other hand, my dual "Paywave and Oyster" Barclaycard works fine,
which means perhaps it's got some clever avoidance technology.


It shouldn't be too hard a problem to solve - ethernet has managed to do
collision detection since the 80s. I guess it depends on how smart they
want to make the hardware in the card.
