I'm not convinced that it was designed. All of the problems people have
with it are fairly obvious results of how it is supposed to work. If
anyone had designed the system, they would have thought of these things.


It was designed alright , but purely with maximising revenue and reducing
costs for TfL in mind. Any issues passengers have had have always been quick
fix afterthoughts. The only thing TfL is concerned about is TfLs bottom line.
They're quick to get out the ticket inspectors and bleet on about losing
revenue but when was the last time they did a big campaign for all the people
who never claimed back for delayed journeys? Never, thats when.
