No chance of that. The current 20-page "Your guide to Oyster" contains
55 images and little more than captions for a 'guide'. A clear attempt has
been made to hide any complexity resulting in a guide that is useless. Why
are they so scared to produce a document that explains the system in a
clear and thorough way. I wonder if those responsible for the documentation
fully understand how it works?

I still come across people who do not buy their weekly travelcard on
Oyster because "Oyster does not work on the trains". (!)

Well, they are probably better sticking with paper travelcards anyway. No passengers charter
discount, and it seems no 'gold card' bonuses.

It is very unlikely they will be better off if they ever travel on the tube beyond the
zones on their travelcard . A two zone extension is £1 for Oyster users or £3 for
paper ticket holders.
