Wave-&-Pay to supersede Oyster?

摘要

The London Assembly has investigated Transport for London's plans to replace OysterCards with Wave-&-Pay bankcards, similar to those First will accept on English buses outside London. Its report reveals that: Oyster running costs absorb 14% of revenue collected. Ticket Stop retailers receive 2% to 9% in commission. There are approximately ￡21 Omillion-worth of bus journeys by 1.1m Freedom Pass holders. As Oyster is incompatible with the national ITSO standard, it cannot record journeys made by English National Concessionary Travel Scheme holders from outside London.
