1. Long hair can sometimes get in my face, making FaceID unreliable
2. Camera angle in the "tap" position is not the angle it needs to be in for the FaceID unlock. I often double click then try to tap my phone, only to remember that I need to FaceID unlock.
I can’t speak to 1 but for 2 the routine is auth first, tap later. Double click, hold up to face, then hold to reader.
Also two things: if you’re willing to accept a less secure Face ID you can turn off attention (1). And if you’re paying for transit, you can turn on Express transit if supported on your provider — then it’s just tap, no need to auth.
