The two surcharges are for different reasons: The 1 EUR surcharge is because you're buying a disposable single-use chipcard rather than loading it onto a plastic chipcard, and the the 0,50 EUR surcharge is use of the ticket window. Indeed they will be summed up to 1,50 EUR if you buy a disposable single at the ticket window.
