The timescale of this was what I asked about just two weeks ago, and
voila it's here - not the full version by any means, as they'll be no
capping initially, and it'll be some while longer before other TfL
modes (Tube, DLR, LO etc) accept it, with no word yet on NR.
So
With only XX percentage of customers having a "contactless" bank card (I
don't have one, and I have 3 bank cards in my wallet).
Only usable on the bus
and no capping even to the one day buss pass.
I predict a complete failure of this experiment
I (genuinely) totally disagree with you - I think this will eventually
become one of the so-called 'killer applications' that pushes the
contactless card payment method into the mainstream.
(And FWIW, I haven't got a contactless card in my wallet either!)
Will this eventually mean the demise of Oystercards?
