@janboehm Go to London, da kannste deine Creditcard einfach beim Rein- und Rausgehen piepen lassen. #rfid #kreditkarte #london #oystercard

The whole #VoterID roll out here in the #UK, approved by parliament and already in place at the #LocalElection is absolutely scandalous, and it feels like people are not even aware. We have no universal ID scheme here; instead, you can use your passport, driving licence (who has those? not the poorest), or your OVER 60 OYSTER CARD, but NOT the young person's #OysterCard! This is so obviously designed to aid #Tories. We need much, much more outrage about this

Looking up updated info about oyster cards for my sis-in-law. It turns out deposit is not refundable on cards purchased after February 2020. Luckily, I keep some oldies I rarely use. #oystercard #tfl #London #transport

Every so often the #OysterCard you can use across the country comes up again. This time it’s alongside simplifying fare structures by doing away with discounted return fares.

Truth is that we’ve had the technology to do a countrywide #OysterCard scheme for years - there are smart card readers on the remotest Scottish railway stations, and everyone uses the #ITSO standard for transport smart cards, but the competing transport companies resist interoperability.
