Well, yes - the others have Travelcards or bus passes). Talking of people not touching in, TfL are changing the Conditions of Carriage from 2nd January such that *ALL* Oyster holders *MUST* touch in (and out where appropriate) or be liable to a Penalty Fare, even if they have a valid Season Ticket loaded onto their Oyster! New Conditions of Carriage can be found at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/termsandconditions/899.aspx and the relevant conditions are 6.6.1 for LU, Overground and National Rail, and 6.6.7 for Buses. ...although interestingly, that strongly implies (to the extent that any court would support) that Travelcard holders will only be liable to a penalty fare if they fail to touch in on buses. While 6.6.1 says that Travelcard holders are supposed to touch in on LU/LO/NR, it doesn't specify any sanctions for people who don't - whereas 6.6.4 mentions explicit sanctions for Travelcard holders who don't use OEPs on NR, 6.6.7 mentions explicit sanctions for Travelcard holders who don't touch in on buses, and 6.7.3 mentions explicit sanctions for PAYG users who don't touch in on LU/LO/DLR. Which is particularly bonkers, since a bus journey can't exactly be extended beyond zones. It is possible to do so on routes 84 & 614. |
