Ken to TOCs - end of January deadline to sign up for Oyster PAYG

TfL's offer to the National Rail (NR) Train Operating Companies (TOCs) to fund the £20 million cost of installing equipment to allow Oyster Pay-as-you-go (PAYG, a.k.a. Pre-Pay) isn't open ended, and the deadline - the 31st of January - is fast approaching. It would appear the Mayor is keen to bounce the TOCs into signing up to the deal. See this TfL press release: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/press-cent....asp?prID=1037 "Almost three times as many passengers can pass an Underground payment gate using Oyster card as can using printed tickets - 40 a minute compared to 15 a minute." That's funny - when using a paper ticket I just shove it straight in, whereas with Oyster I hang back and wait for the previous person to go through and the gates to close first, in case I pick up a £4 charge. |
