Ah.. So, this problem only pertained to "transit" payments and  
that transit users were able to get free rides?

I thought the issue was "may result in bad actors bypassing the  
lock screen and making fraudulent payments".  In otherwords..  
someone ELSE could use the transit feature on a locked iPhone  
or something.
