Payment for a bus ride

Question

Shalom.

He bought from his friend a validated ride on a youth multi-ride card. Does he need to pay the price that his friend paid for it, or according to the stored value shown on the card?

Answer

Shalom.

He must pay the amount it cost the owner of the card.
(Since stored value is not considered actual money but rather an equivalent of money, and its value is what it costs to obtain it on the market).
