The Freedom Pass also can clash (error 94 on the reader)


That's (very) rarely a clash but a mis-read when someone waves their
card about and expected the reader to magically read it. Freedom pass
users are one of the worst offenders at this but not unique.

A proper CPC clash is 70 or 71 which is reporting it's detected 2 cards
or a read error.

Those more observant of you may have noticed that recently the UTS gates
have had a software upgrade and many of these codes now report a 'plain
text' translation of the error code on the second text line.


Lets see, Freedom Pass in wallet, Debit Card in wallet, gates don't open.
Remove either, gates open.


That is, of course, the solution that the punter wants

It isn't the solution that the operator wants :-(
