Perhaps moving to a contactless by default stance would encourage more to use it, as it's still largely assumed you're paying cash (unless you say otherwise)

While I do get a lot of mobile and smartcarrds, I think most tickets I get are paper day tickets and I think I'm yet to do a shift where I've taken in more card payments than cash.
