I got the feeling they are dreading the complexity of issueing and
explaining the Oystercards to people!


I do wonder whether the complexity is resulting from the fact that a
traditional, complicated, paper-style fare structure is being retained
on what is essentially a new concept in ticketing, and the two don't
go together well.

Simplify and flatten the fare structure substantially, and it'll work
a lot better.
