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
tim
I thought that banks were starting to redistribute cards with the
contactless feature, however.
ITYF that they started this about 2 years ago
I still don't have one (not by choice)

Call your bank and ask for one. I did, and they were more than happy to
issue me one.
I don't particularly want one
I'm making the point that they have not yet become so commonplace that the
subset of potential bus users who don't have an Oyster, will have one.
