Default Transport Committee's view on "wave and pay"

I didn't have a principled objection, well I did but that was because I
was worried that this was a pre-cursor to it being a complete Oyster
replacement, but both the committee and Which (who they asked for
comments) said that this shouldn't be allowed happen in order not to
disenfranchise the "unbanked", who are predominantly the poorest in the
community. On that justification I don't think that a government agency,
even one as "independent" as TfL would ignore such advice.


TfL have consistently said that Oyster cards are not being withdrawn, in
various previous reports and papers on the subject that have been
discussed here in the past couple of years...


we have every faith in our manager.

The board back him all the way
