I had assuemd that these 'bike scheme keys' are RFID devices - so the
terminals must already have RFID readers. So the necessary hardware is
probably already there.


The keys are used on the docking stations, not on the payment terminals.


What will happen when the cycling scheme is fully launched and some
people don't have keys, opting instead to pay with a card?
