Default Boris - remove this absurd Oyster vs cash cost disparity

It cost me 2 quid to go 1 mile because I had to pay by cash. Is that
fair? I don't think so. Same story on the tube.

I think one of the first things boris should at is ditch Kens
idiotic , deliberate and spiteful disparity between the Oyster and
cash fares to deliberately force occasional commuters to use Oyster to
no benefit to themselves but every benefit to TfL.

That's dreadful. I think Boris should introduce a scheme whereby you
can top up your Oyster automatically when it runs out...
