Anyone else having problems scanning mobile bus passes on the new Bee Network buses?

Used to be most bus drivers would just let you show your bus pass without scanning it, but in the last few weeks it seems they've got way more strict about scanning it. That wouldn't be a problem, but on the new buses the QR scanner is right above the card reader. When I put my phone under it to scan the QR code, my phone detects a card reader nearby and automatically opens Apple Pay. The QR scanner doesn't have enough time to scan my bus pass before the screen changes to my card. Anyone else been having this problem? When it happens it's about 50/50 whether the drivers let me on with it or make me pay for a ticket, really annoying
