expensive for TfL to deal with.

Says who? Because they have to deal with money? No one tops up an
Oyster card with cash do they?

But that doesn't alter the original point, which is that it saves us
all a lot of time and money if people use Oyster; therefore people who
don't use Oyster cost us all a lot of time and money; therefore it's
fair to charge them more for the privilege.

********. If it applies to Oyster it applies to every other walk of
life that can use cash as a payment method. TfL are just being tight
fisted arseholes.
