Default What's the purpose of Oyster?

A dumbbell on London Underground works in two ways.
With Oyster: the travelcard loaded on the card is for zones 2 & 3 (it
could be a weekly, a monthly or more). The customer does not touch in
at the station of ingress (eg Finsbury Park), travels through zone 1
and touches out at eg Stockwell. No fare is charged for zone 1....

I should have added, "...although the customer is liable to pay one."
