Is there a way to stop Apple Wallet from opening automatically when near a paying terminal.

Then, why do you have such a big trouble to understand the problem here?

What do you do with the QR code that Carlson has sent you in an email, and you get to the access barrier with your phone showing that QR code, and the reader can’t read the QR code because Apple Wallet pops up showing your credit card and the QR code is missing from the screen.

What is then your solution? And don’t tell me “print it on paper”, for god’s sake

It has never happened to me.

Probably because for starters you were replaying to a post that wasn’t addressed to you.

And then because you haven’t traveled recently in France, Belgium, or in Netherlands, where this is an issue with the machines they use in the entry barriers, which read both QR and NFC. You are extrapolating your own context to the rest of the world. It doesn’t work like that

Your American Express example makes no sense. I’ve used American Express and I get a link or QR code to add the ticket to Apple Wallet. It works flawlessly. Have you ever tried to scan the QR code with your iPhone Camera app?

If you don’t want to print, then convince your transit company to support Apple and Android wallets? It’s simpler for a transit company to change, than change billions of devices and billions of users. You may disagree, but anyone that has provided customer service for technology sees a potential nightmare.

Even the incredibly behind-the-times, chronically underfunded transit authority in my city now takes Apple Pay. Admittedly, they were spurred on by the fact that the company the contracted with to provide the fair service cards and readers is dropping support. But they implemented it in far less time than it took them to get the proprietary tap-to-pay system in place.

Why exactly does not make sense?

I have used American Express and they don’t send a link; they send an email with a QR code that you use to access the train platforms. So it doesn’t work flawlessly.

And no, scanning the QR code with the IPhone Camera app doesn’t do anything, so there’s no way to convert that QR code into an Apple Wallet travel pass.

Do you understand that no one here can make the change you want? That arguing here, while possibly a welcome diversion on a dull work day, is otherwise pointless? That is really doesn't matter if anyone here understands or agrees with you? Because it doesn't seem as if you do.

Do you understand that no one is here asking to implement any change, but rather to find a way that prevents Wallet from popping up automatically when close to an NFC reader? Because it doesn’t seem as if you do.

YOU don’t seem to understand that it isn’t going to happen. No matter how many times you repeat yourself to other users in this exclusively user-to-user forum with no real Apple participation.

Not gonna get solved here.

Your bus company is the problem.

Send your feedback to the bus company.

You can send your feedback to Apple too, but they have already made a better solution available to the bus company.

YOU don’t seem to understand that nobody is asking Apple anything, this forum is asking the community if someone knows of a workaround that prevents apple wallet from popping up. You don’t know any? What a pity, next, move on.

You've been given the answer to that. You've also been given a possible workaround: add the QR code to your wallet. Asking the same question over and over again and expecting a different answer is the definition of...something.

What possible turnaround? How can you add a QR code to the wallet, if that QR code is not given to you in a pkpass format, but in jpg? Did you get, that you don’t get the QR code in pkpass format? So what turnaround are you talking about? Any useful ideas, by any chance?

That something is also well shown by not understanding what’s being asked. Nobody is asking Apple to do anything. And if you don’t know a turnaround that doesn’t mean that someone else does, don’t you think?

And yet you’ve being going on and on without offering any solution or workable turnaround.

Why, instead of getting the last word, didn’t you say “sorry, I don’t know any” and moved on? That is something.

Whether a bus company employee such as the driver is annoyed by issues with your use of a bus company provided payment system for riders to pay for a bus company service seems an issue for the bus company and for the regulators of the bus company to address.

Whether there are alternatives or enhancements to the current bus company payment system is for the bus company and regulators to address, as well.

it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that the maintenance and updates of the payment and enforcement systems are more costly than the fees received in some transit systems, too; that the payment systems and policing systems are themselves a net loss.
