    skytrain makes sense because there would be a gate.
But bus... >_<
Anyone can just tap but not getting off right away.

maybe the 3 zones system just isn't that good.....
cuz you know buses in HK, different bus would cost differently according to its route ma

or maybe the card is just for paying the money
and after paying you still get a ticket printed out? I don't know

cant people just tap (for the cheaper fair) and still stay on the bus?

well unless it's an empty bus, other ppl will look at you...
yeap peer pressure. I will sure be the one to confront someone who tap and NOT get off the bus.

or maybe it can't be tapped when bus's moving?

    yep there would be peer pressure but we shouldn't count on it ...

From Translink...
Tap Out
When you've reached your destination, or when transferring between vehicles / modes, you're required to tap your card on the card reader to exit. When you tap out, the system calculates the fare zones you've traveled and instantly credits your card for the fare difference - charging you the correct fare.

Sounds like they will charge the maximum amount when you tap-in, and then credit you back if you get off before crossing zone.  So for most riders, there is no need to tap out.

Huh?  I thought most ppl don't travel 2 or 3-zones.  This doesn't make sense then.  Those who forget to tap out will be charged 3-zones

Right. And there is discussion to limit the charge to 1 or 2 zones for buses that didn't travel pass multiple zones as well.
btw. it isn't so hard to tap before you walk out of a bus...
