All the golden oldies were the increased risk of fraud
at
ungated stations (as if bits of the Tube and the DLR can't cope with
that);
I've never really grasped this often seen argument. I just can't see how
Oyster is any different from paper tickets in this respect. What am I
missing?
I get on at gated station and swipe in my Oyster.
I get off at ungated station and if there is someone there
I swipe out with my Oyster. If there isn't, I walk off and pay
the Oyster 'penalty' fare.
Of course, this only works if the actual fare is less than the
penalty but there are some journeys that will be.
and of course I meant to say more.
