Am i missing something, or is that still too complicated to do in
one swipe?


Does this have to be done in real-time by smart gates? Or can the
central systems just do the calculations at the end of the day?
For example, if you use a ticket machine to list Oystercard
journeys, I don't think it shows the current day's journeys


A ticket machine does show current journeys, even bus journeys that you
have just made. The system does work in real time. For example your
prepay balance changes instantly to reflect journeys you have just
made.
