I had an incident when I tapped my GoCard on a bus and later noticed, after the trip, that a 10c charge was also pending on my bank account for the trip.  
I tapped off with my GoCard as I should have , and then days later I had $2.50 charge because I had not tapped with the phone.  
Has anyone had that happen to them.  
More interestingly, it took the charge from adifferent card that u was using in the Apple Transit card in my Apple Wallet

Phones with credit or debit cards often respond to RFID for payments, so if it is in proximity, it could be charged.
