It looks like I need to get an Oyster card for pre-pay but I regularly
need to produce receipts for travel. That is easy with paper tickets but
how do I do that with Oyster pre-pay? Ask Oyster doesn't have anything.
You can ask for a print-out at an Underground ticket office, covering
your last dozen or so journeys. I think you can request one online
too, though they post it to you.
Single tickets were always swallowed by the machine at the end of the
journey anyway.
The usual solution to this problem is to buy a day
ticket even if you don't need it.
No-one in an accounts department queries whether the
ticket you have submitted was necessary, but they make
you jump through hoops if you try and claim without a
ticket.
At a previous workplace, a very snotty notice came round one day
saying that workers would only be reimbursed for out-of-pocket
expenses; apparently people had been travelling into work on a Z1-n
monthly/annual, then going to a client meeting across town and
claiming for 2xZ1 singles!
