Default Sharing an Oyster PAYG

But how much service have you paid for? TfL define it as "as much
usage as one person can make of the card in one month", and you're
defining it as "as much usage as whoever has the card can make in one
month". Given the latter is higher than the former, you clearly are
getting more service than you've paid for, at least according to the
terms.

(yes, this is a very ephemeral argument, but given the service they're
selling has a marginal cost per passenger of essentially zero, any
pricing scheme is going to be ephemeral and artificial)
