Using phone for underground payment

Thought I had this figured out, but want to make sure after reading this on the tlf website:

You can pay for someone else's travel with your contactless card or device if they're travelling with you. You need to pay for your own travel with a different card or device.

Does this mean my wife and I can both use the same credit card using apple pay if we each use our own phone? I thought that we would each need to use different types of credit/debit cards, but the website says you can with a different device.

The card we would like to use (earns travel points) is a US Chase Sapphire Preferred, anyone have problems using this card?
Thanks for any answers/suggestions.

Yes you can and you could even use the physical card for a third person. The card and any other devices can each be used by different people. What you can’t do is use one device for more than one person.
