Oh, one other thing I did find annoying with the child's daily ticket is it is a QR code, which is fine in and of itself but when you bring your phone close to the QR reader it triggered the NFC Payment wallet on my phone as well. I was not double charged but worried I might be, so I disabled NFC for my phone and paid for my own adult ticket with Garmin pay on my watch.

Using busses in Reykjavik I could do the touch payment thing with a regular payment card or Apple/Google/Samsung/Garmin/Fidesmo. You can also use an app but again timing bringing the QR code was annoying and seemed to slow the whole boarding process up.

@ruari@velocipederider.com this has been a problem with transit systems since at least 2017 when NS added contactless payment to the turnstiles. It's frustrating that it is still an issue almost a decade later!
