Yea. Very strange perspective in this article.

At the end they are acting like Apple Pay (or ant mobile payment) is a risk of sorts. This type of transit issue is actually quite unique. Their example of someone buying coffee at Starbucks with their phone is completely different. If your phone doesn’t before you pay, boo-hoo, no coffee. If it does after you pay they’re still going to call out your name and you grab your cup.

Almost exactly like you are suggesting (and I agree) the transit system should work. When you pay, they have a record of it.
