There is a data protection issue here, isn't there. The collection of
name and address is for different purposes (e.g. returning a lost Oyster
to you, mailshots) from the collection of data about journeys made
(making better service provision). It might be illegal to bring the two
together. If you are really worried, I suggest you ask them explicitly.

You can be tracked all over the place by several means. Mobile

doubtless more I haven't thought of and more to come in the future.

Indeed, and this is to be resisted wherever possible. You have not
convinced me why I should volunteer to report my every movement to the

Yes, that sounds familiar. The problem I had is that you need local
knowledge about zones etc.

I seem to recall that every bus/tram stop had a map showing at least the
nearby zone boundaries, and the trams had strip maps showing them as
well.

And I never will :-)

You will forgo certain advantages because you feel a degree of
perceived privacy is more important. Others now have ample
information on the issues and will make their own decisions. Mission
accomplished.

You haven't convinced me that's what's happening. All they know is where
the Oyster is going. If you are so worried about your movements being
recorded, get several, and periodically swap them with other people.

It always amuses me when on a programme like Spooks people chuck their
phones away to avoid being tracked. Why don't they just turn them off?

I suspect this is because the phone isn't registered to them, and so
they are trying to prevent the police getting a log of where they have
been in the past, having found said mobile in their possession.
