If I have multiple tickets on my smartcard how will I know which have been activated?

The smartcard reader on the bus will automatically select the ticket which is already valid or activated for use. It is only after your ticket expires that it will activate your next available ticket on the card. This has to be scanned on a ticket machine to be activated and will not automatically activate so don’t worry if you’re not travelling for a few days.
