I'd be interested to know how much all this cost when there are somewhat
more pressing issues to sort out on the tube.


"The roll-out has cost a total of ?66m, and TfL expects to more than
recover the ?11m cost of software development by licensing it to other
transport operators around the world." according to
http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/u...w/contactless-
payment-arrives-in-london.html


Yeah, right - because its their technology developed in house. Not. The most
technical thing TfL can manage without outside help is a bit of train and
track maintenance.


If companies didn't contract stuff out, where would you be? And if the
contract isn't clear about ownership of what you create they are crazy.
