CharlieCards v.v. Oyster (and Octopus?)

That's easier if there are a finite number of players (eg TfL and half a
dozen "Network Southeast area" National Rail companies). Scaling it to
numerous authorities operating independent bridges could be a problem.
Imagine a different operator was charging tolls for every road bridge
from Tower Bridge to Windsor.
I wasn't talking about bridges, I was referring to transport.
My model was hypothesising about TfL running all the London Toll
Bridges, or alternative not, and them all being independently run.
I wonder why there isn't one Smart Card for the greater New York area,
similar to what we have here in London.
It sounds like there's "almost" one.
