Default Contactless on the tube and rail

"Roland Perry" wrote

No doubt the trade press is queuing up to print 'vapourware' stories

from other operators. After all, they've been doing it for TfL for the
last three years.

VISA say:


"Transport authorities across the world are investing in

contactless payment technology to drive down the cost of
ticketing, reduce queues and increase efficiency."
and
"Many transit agencies across Europe are now seeking to build
Visa contactless acceptance into their future ticketing

strategies due to the uniquely compelling nature of the
propositions they represent."

But don't actually mention any examples of who, other than a couple of

uncaptioned photos from TfL.

The first is observable, at least when the technology goes live or even when
the contact is signed.

The second is just an aspiration and not observable until something
actually happens.
