It's designed primarily for TfL network users. The way the system works
means that activation needs access to fixed hardware, so not buses. Fixed
hardware is attached to railway stations. If TfL doesn't run the railway
stations in your part of town, that's hardly their fault.


The issue could be resolved to some extent by allowing things like
auto-top-up to be triggered at ticket machines without the need to
travel - or even at Ticket Stops.
