Civil rights campaigners have expressed concerns about the new smart
travelcards introduced for London commuters.

Under the new system, Transport for London will be able to track a
commuter's movements and it plans to retain information on journeys
made for "a number of years"


Surely people wanting to avoid this could just buy a traditional paper
(or plastic type stuff) season ticket?
