Yikes, I expect it would cost a fair amount to replace all those
readers, which they will have to do when more and more people are
carrying cards with rfid in them (apart from oyster).

Part of the investment coming about as a result of TfL breaking the
Transys contract at its breakpoint this year is that new investment is
triggered (including some DfT money), which is how all the readers and
embedded controllers in the gates and buses will be upgraded to handle
ITSO and contactless bank payment as well as Oyster.
