It doesn't mention Visa and MasterCard specifically, but I think
you're probably right in assuming that's what they mean.

I wonder that'll do for the Barclaycard OnePulse card (Oyster and Visa
PayWave on the one bit of plastic) - I certainly wouldn't like to pay
for journeys twice...

As an aside, I tried to use my OnePulse card in various locations in
New York and Toronto - including an NYC cab, and a Subway turnstile
kitted out for the contactless payment trial (marketed as for Citi
MasterCard PayWave cardholders only - but the reader had the generic
contactless payments logo on it). On every attempt, my card wasn't
even recognised - not even with a 'card not accepted' beep. I've had
no trouble using it in the UK. I wonder if the north American readers
are different?
