I picket up my beta card today on the way to work this morning and loaded it with cash. I decided to take the bus home to try it out. Usually I bus to work and walk home, but today I took the bus home to try out the card.
It worked as expected; displayed $2.76 fare price on the first tap then "transfer" on the others -- after getting home I still had time left so I went to get food. I only loaded up $40 of credit but am now tempted to load up more while it's 20% off. However, I bike to work in warmer weather and coincidentally the 2018 Nissan Leaf I pre-ordered came early (picked it up yesterday), so I'll probably be using transit less in the foreseeable future -- but I signed up for the beta, so I'll make sure to commute via GRT a few days a week for the month.
