Before you start

Choose a suitable stored-value card, make a small first top-up, and test one transaction.

Confirm the card type, price, registration status, and actual discount eligibility.
Top up at a metro counter or authorized location showing the official mark.
Check the displayed or printed balance before leaving.
Present only one card to the reader and wait for confirmation.
Keep it away from other contactless cards, bending, high heat, and nearby metal.
Save official support and refund information because rules differ by card type.

Every step has its own link, so a single step can be shared.

Problem
Presenting several contactless cards together.
How to fix it
Remove one card and retry; ask station staff or official support about a disputed charge.
Problem
Assuming every student card provides a discount.
How to fix it
Check eligibility with the local transport authority and your school.

You have confirmed the card, topped it up, checked the balance, and completed one valid tap.
