E-ZPass, was CharlieCards v.v. Oyster (and Octopus?)
That's easier if there are a finite number of players (eg TfL and half a
dozen "Network Southeast area" National Rail companies). Scaling it to numerous authorities operating independent bridges could be a problem. Imagine a different operator was charging tolls for every road bridge from Tower Bridge to Windsor. Actually, E-ZPass has solved that remarkably well, with 22 different authorities accepting each other's passes. They did trials using it to pay at McDonalds' drive-through on Long Island, but nothing came of it. Since you have to stop to pick up the order anyway, tapping a credit card doesn't slow the process down much. R's, John |
