Has anyone tried this yet? I'm tempted to convert my physical card over but I'm worried about my phone dying, etc.
Update: I bought an additional card (Wallet only) and it's working well so far for the light rail. I also added in a multi ride ferry pass and it correctly** handled that as well. Pretty happy about this so far, aside from being so very late.
** The screen on the turnstile says there's an error, but it correctly deducts from the pass and lets me through. The wallet app doesn't actually list pass uses remaining but myorca does.
I've loaded cash to my phone but still haven't actually used it yet. I'm going to carry the card as backup just in case but tbh how many times has your phone died on you just as you were boarding the teianor whatever? I feel like it's probably fine to just go full digital
