ADELAIDE METRO TAP​

Are Adelaide Metro charging seniors for travel now?

out of my bank account is a pending withdrawal of $1.00 from Adelaide Metro Tap. Why? Should I contact my bank? This is the 2nd time in the past couple of months.

I would contact my bank in your situation. Do you normally use public transport?

About 4 years ago we had $1.00 withdrawn from our account then in the next 48 hours had all but $13.60 taken from our account. The initial dollar was to determine if the scammers had a “live” account, then went along and made online purchases until there were insufficient funds. I hope it all resolves with no issues for you

I called the bank ( they made note of the details), who told me to call Adelaide Metro Line. I did that. they told me that my credit card was close to my senior's card. it may have been, but anyway, he's forwarded that on to the relevant department and attempt to get a credit. As long as I keep my credit card completely separate when scanning for public transport I should be ok. (I have numerous cards in the same small plastic bag with my senior's card on the bottom for scanning). but as this is the 2nd time I'll keep a watch on it.

I would never link my bank account to any transport service, such as parking, public transport, etc.

Use a card for these services, not the "convenient" mobile phone apps. The only convenience you get is being ripped off!
