I don't think many people have an objection per-se. Its more the
forcing it on everyone and charging people who don't/can't use it
through the nose for no good reason other than because they can. I've
still yet to hear a good reason from Comrade Livingstone as to why
he's shafting occasional public transport users or tourists who end up
paying 4 quid to go one stop since having to buy an oyster card before
you visit the capital is neither obvious nor convenient and frankly I
think its just a stealth tax on tourists.
