Someone remind me - arn't we being told RFID is supposed to make life

Requiring multiple wallets or wallets with seperate sections or ****ing
around
with bloody tin foil and then having to remember which way up to put the
wallet
on the reader for gods sake wouldn't be my definition of "easier".

relative to getting on the end of a 10 minute queue it is


Curently I can carry my pass/oyster and a credit card in one wallett


The indications are that this will stop working quite soon (unless your
wallet is capable of separating them sufficiently when you touch-in).

Or perhaps your credit card isn't yet Paywave enabled - wait until it
gets replaced.

where is the 10 minute queue here?


For a paper ticket.


Which I don't need, I have a Pass already.

Oh well in that case I'll stop carrying the credit card when it expires,
cash is a lot easier you can carry in a back pocket and sit on it and
also in the same wallet as a pass
