Default How much was a ticket for the underground in the 60s?

Wouldn't it have been easier to pay with a credit card, or even a

This is often a difference between the UK and mainland Europe where
credit cards are used a lot less.

Perhaps, although I'd definitely exclude France from your "mainland
Europe" definition, as Visa cards and cheques are very widely used
there. Germany certainly dragged behind for a very long time, though.

I can't even imagine a situation,
other than perhaps buying a car privately[1], where I might consider
dealing with that amount of cash.

Neither can I - just the idea of it makes me feel uneasy.
