The fact that London has a smart card that actually works, while the
Ft.'s preferred ITSO standard smart card is neither standard nor smart,
is neither here nor there.

But everyone else uses ITSO.

The UK need to have a common standard developed, it should be legally
available across all public railway and bus networks.

That was supposed to be ITSO but even within the same company's operations
it isn't inter-available

Someone dropped the ball on that one!

and anyway on card storage technology is
obsolescent now.

So, what's next?
