    Has anyone tried this yet? I’m tempted to convert my physical card over but I’m worried about my phone dying, etc.

      Did the switchover this morning & I will note that it also works if you have a RRFP (Regional Reduced Fare Permit). I’ve been using the My ORCA app on my phone since it first became publicly available, so having the card in digitized form is just icing on the cake for me. I’ll also add that there’s an option in Google Wallet to store your digital card in your Google account temporarily if you’re in the process of upgrading your device… it can be found by tapping the Details button at the top after tapping on the entry for your digital ORCA card.

      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
