Firstly, if you only use the Travel Pass on Airport Express on Aug.18 and then use it on metro for the first time from Aug 19, it will be valid to Aug 22 for the 3-day unlimited use. So, you should choose proper card in terms of your travel plan. The Travel Pass could not be used for payment in convenience store, unless you add extra money into the card.
