Transport officers and paywave

Just experienced a request for my ticket on the NX1. My HOP card is out so I used paywave and I had wondered how they check. Turns out they can check by getting you to open/activate the pay function on your phone. Pretty slick I thought.

Also. As they worked their way through the bus, they discovered a few free-riders and asked them politely to get off at the next stop. Figured there might be a bit of an argument but nope all happened without fuss.

Nice one Transport Officer!
