Changing your Oyster for a mobile phone on the tube
Hmmm,
It looks like my hunch about tracking travel by mobile phones was correct. According to the Register, Transport for London (TFL) have announced that they’re ditching the current Oyster cards earlier than planned and may use contactless mechanisms like phones to pay for tube tickets. They had too many issues with the cards not working correctly for them to complete the contract apparently. Not good.
Good by me – the less stuff I have to carry around the better. no more fumbling around in my bag for the Oyster wallet. I’ll just need to fumble around for the damn phone instead!…
