What's the purpose of Oyster?

I've been thinking abot the Oyster card. I can see some of the major benefits, lack of moving parts, no damage to ticket etc. But I wonder if the primary reason for Oyster was to prevent dumbelling? I don't know what you mean by dumbelling but I suspect a key driver was the huge and worrying market driven by somewhat worrying characters past the gates in the resale of one day travelcards. I don't know if it was similarly considered but the absolute ease of using an oystercard to board a night bus when somewhat inebriated is a big selling point as well. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |
