In any case, paper ODTCs become irrelevant at the same time as the

to continue selling paper ODTCs now that there is absolutely no
advantage in having one compared to a capped Oyster PAYG?)


Surely they (and the TOCs) will carry on selling them for the benefit of
those many millions of the population that haven't got Oyster cards?

Clearly the TOCs aren't expecting every one of their cash customers to
arrange an Oyster card by Jan 2nd either...


The TOCs will continue, sure. I don't see why, given that LU no longer
offers other multiple journey tickets on paper, they shouldn't shift
the ODTC to Oyster.

(it's not as if it'd be at all difficult for the millions of the
population who don't have Oyster cards to, erm, get one...)
