CPC?


Contactless Payment Card.

Both the fails incur a strike from TfL. Three strikes and card is blacklist=
ed.


Three in a row or three in the lifetime of the card? Because I could see the
latter easily happening. I've forgotten to touch in on the DLR a few times in
my life and got screwed for the max fare. I'd be exceedingly ****ed off if the
card was stopped too.

I can understand 3 in a row after that guy took the **** on south eastern or
wherever it was where he touched out at some terminus and only paid max tfl
fare instead of whatever it would have been from his station in the sticks.


I saw it happen today. A man with a counterfeit ticket saw that a check of tickets was going on so he chose to use his CPC instead.
Therefore his CPC was touched out but not touched in. He will be charged the maximum.

If he does that too often his card will be blacklisted and he will have to use another account.
