Trying to get everyone to adopt oyster. Since the difference is much greater
than any cost savings I suspect that there is another agenda in play.

I note that the banks have recently been hit: when you go overdrawn they were charging
more than the cost of generating the letter/... Some obmudsman or other said that they
were not allowed to do this. I wonder if we should make a complaint against london transport
along the same lines -- force them to bring the price down.
