What if I don’t tap out of the tram?

If you don’t tap out of the tram, you may end up being overcharged for your fare. When you tap on at the start of your journey, your card is charged the maximum fare for that journey. If you don’t tap off at the end of your journey, the system will not know that you have completed your trip and will charge you the maximum fare. This is especially important if you are using a contactless payment method, as you may not be able to get a refund for the overcharged amount.
