There should be the option of having it the other way around. You use your
oyster and then TfL send you a bill at the end of the month just like every
other type of utility and service company does.

They don't all advance credit to their customers though (about half of
all mobile phone users are not sufficiently credit-worthy to avoid a
PAYG account, for example).

And good luck doing the credit control on all those who default. If you
cut off someone's Oyster card, they just get another one - quite
difficult for your water supply.
