"Over the summer, the London travelcard ticketing system ¡X called Oyster ¡X
fell over twice, forcing the transport authority to offer free travel to
the six million Londoners using the system. After that, it cut its contract
with the supplier of the system, a consortium called TranSys. But now,
Transport for London has signed a new contract to replace the TranSys one ¡X
with the same two companies that made up the TranSys consortium. Sure, that
should fix everything."
