Default Oystercard - not quite as useful as we were led to believe

I think the killer app will be recharging your ticket on the internet.
I reckon most office workers in the centre of town will be using this
method.

The problem with this is the delay - after you've bought your ticket
online, you need to wait four days before it can start.

One of the biggest benefits of doing something online is the speed -
if I buy a ticket over the web, I want it to load onto my card the
next time I go through a gate.

Why must we wait so long?

(of course, I could just get my act together and remember to renew my
ticket a week in advance, but that isn't always possible).
