The passenger will presumably notice if they can use different types
of fare capping to at present, or new discount schemes/ticket products
are brought in using the extra capabilities which will be available.

especially if he has to over-feed a card to pay for a load of individual
journeys, only to have the excess refunded when the back office cap is
applied

Wouldn't they just need the money there ready for when the single,
capped, payment is required overnight?

and then if it isn't thus available, how do they "beep" at the gate to
stop you entering, for a journey that you have already completed?

Presumably they don't - but they could blacklist the card and not let
you in next time. How does it do with contactless bank cards at the
moment if the bank account is empty when it is billed?

Presumably the overall advantages of the new improved shinier system
outweigh this kind of issue anyway.
