If you can beat Oyster fares then why are you whinging?

I think Colin's point, with which I agree, is that there are a
number of types of journey that are more expensive using Oyster.

However, whenever anyone mentions this, we seem to be dubbed "the
anti-Oyster brigade" by people whose knowledge of travel patterns
other than their own seems somewhat limited.

They get accused of being anti-Oyster when they complain about a
"rip-off" that is, in fact, not charging more to anyone but the
paranoid and the lazy.

Er, charging twice as much for cash as on Oyster isn't a rip-off? What
is this world you inhabit?

A world when choosing to pay more is not being ripped off.

For single journeys, use Oyster or pay for the privilege of using a
paper ticket.
