Sharing an Oyster PAYG

(Make sure they don't have any unresolved journeys) Nice idea but unfortunately impractical. The problem is that Oyster PAYG is essentially a Tube system and I live in SE London and I almost exclusively use trains & buses. To get a refund the TFL website says to go to a Tube station but my nearest one is c. 6 miles by crows flight. That is why the present cash fares premium is such a pain for some users. I have to keep a minimum zone 1 tube fare as permanent minimum credit on mine because I live in Cambridge and arrive in London at King's Cross where there are often horrendous queues even at ticket machines. At least with £1.50 credit I can top up at the end of my first journey for now, but when they close more ticket offices and I need a receipt for the actual amount spent that day it will become a problem again. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
