We do the same in my part of the US where transit kinda sucks. You just tap a credit card (or phone w/ contactless payments) or physical card w/ chip on any bus or train and it charges the appropriate amount (i.e. day pass if you exceed some amount). It’s not complicated, you just tap when you get on, and tap when you get off, and as long as you use the same payment method, it just works.
It’s not complicated at all. At no point is GPS tracking needed, you just need to process the payment and link them together based on the unique identifier you’re already using to process payments.
