Intestesting to read how it works in different places! Your comment left me with a couple questions if you dont mind

you are also supposed to scan it when you get off the bus, but it's not strictly necessary. So I never do.

Why do you also need to check out? And why does it not matter if you don't? And why don't you do it?

I honestly don't know. It might have something to do with connections, because you have to scan on each bus or LRT you take, but I rarely ever do that, and on the occasions I did, there were no double charges as far as I remember.

Maybe they just want you to do it so they can track journeys better?

I should probably look this up...

In some places it's so the operator will charge you less for a short journey.

I didn't think that's a thing here. Would be nice though!
