I'm not sure if it has happened already or not but TfL want the fare
paid to be the same regardless of cash or card with no surcharge.

That's not unreasonable, but CC charges are not 5%

They're 0% in most shops.

The point of discussion is the charges to the seller, not the buyer.

The cabbies argument is that *they* will lose 5% because that is what the CC
companies charge them and TfL are asking them to agree to a "contract"
forbidding CC surcharges to customers.

My point was that the CC companies *don't charge them 5%.
