It's really easy to avoid all fraud and misuse if that's all you care
about.
See Richmond, and the ?40k Oyster-banker from Kent. No, avoiding all
fraud isn't easy.
Sure it is. Manually check all tickets and Oyster cards at entry and
exit.


Is this a job creation scheme, or do you just run a ban-the-barriers
campaign?


You must have missed the words "if that's all you care about".


If it's *all* you care about, reduce the fares to zero.
