I'd be interested to know how much all this cost when there are somewhat more
pressing issues to sort out on the tube.

What idiots use contactless debut cards anyway with all the inherent security
risks? There's a reason for PINs. As soon as my bank sent me one of these damn
things I disabled it straight away by cutting through the antenna which also
has the added bonus that I can have it in my wallet with my oyster and not
have to worry at the gate.

It won't happen overnight, but I'm in little doubt that contactless
payments for public transport in London will prove to be a great success
(and will drive the adoption and usage of contactless to an extent).
