It's not law; It's what's in the terms of the contract you signed to be
able to process credit cards.
When I have cash I use debit (if accepted) anywhere that's a local
merchant; No reason they should have to eat credit fees if I can avoid it.
(When I'm broke, it's academic, but hey...)
So I assume this was not an issue by the time the Railways passed on;
I know little of credit card history.
Otherwise, how would such have affected token sales? Cash only?
