However, there are no plans to stop offering an Oyster option, according to TfL's head of customer payments Mike Tuckett, who joined the ticketing team just after the contract to deliver the technology for the Oyster card was signed in He said: "I can't imagine a situation where everyone either will have a bank account and card suitable to pay and wants to.
We've always seen them as sister options that co-exist. It's very helpful for us and for customers. Removing the Oyster card could cause problems for those on or below the poverty line, says social historian Liz McIvor. Oyster cards provide a way for Freedom Pass holders - those aged over 60 - to receive free travel, while Zip cards provide free and discounted travel for those aged under The ASA ruled that the two products were not directly comparable, mainly because the pay as you go facility was not valid on most National Rail routes at the time.
Transport for London makes a significant profit from excess fares deducted for those travelling using PAYG and failing to touch out as they exit stations. The maximum fares for failing to touch out were introduced late While Oyster PAYG users could legally travel along those lines to certain destinations, they were not permitted to board or alight at intermediate stations.
If their journey began or ended at an intermediate station, they would be unable to touch out and consequently be liable for penalty fares or prosecution. The complexity of Oyster validity on these routes was criticised for increasing the risk of passengers inadvertently failing to pay the correct fare. Criticism was also levelled at train operating companies for failing to provide adequate warnings to passengers about Oyster validity on their routes and for not installing Oyster readers at certain stations.
TfL published guides to the limitations of PAYG validity [78] diagrammatic maps illustrating PAYG validity were published in November by National Rail, [79] but these were rarely on display at stations and had to be obtained from transport websites.
Oyster card ticket renewals and PAYG top-ups made online allow users to make purchases without the need to go to a ticket office or vending machine. However there are certain limitations to this system:. They scanned a card reader to obtain its cryptographic key, then used a wireless antenna attached to a laptop computer to brush up against passengers on the London Underground and extract the information from their cards.
With that information they were able to clone a card, add credit to it, and use it to travel on the Underground for at least a day. The Mifare Classic—which is also used as a security pass for controlling entry into buildings—has been criticised as having very poor security, and NXP criticised for trying to ensure security by secrecy rather than strong encryption.
This is not an exaggeration; it's kindergarten cryptography. Anyone with any security experience would be embarrassed to put his name to the design. NXP attempted to deal with this embarrassment by keeping the design secret" [4]. Breaching security on Oyster cards should not allow unauthorised use for more than a day, as TfL promises to turn off any cloned cards within 24 hours, but a cloned Mifare Classic can allow entry into buildings that use this system for security.
Transport for London, in partnership with academic institutions such as MIT , has begun to use the data captured by the Oyster smartcard system for strategic research purposes, with the general goal of using Oyster data to gain cheap and accurate insights into the behaviour and experience of passengers. Specific projects include estimation of Origin-Destination Matrices for the London Underground , [83] [84] analysis of bus-to-bus and bus-to-tube interchange behaviour, [85] modelling and analysis of TfL -wide fare policy changes, [86] and measurement of service quality on the London Overground.

Greater London. Looks like this article is a bit old. Be aware that information may have changed since it was published. The Oyster card is 15 years old. You may already know some more common facts like how an Oyster has no expiry date, but here's some we think you might not have pegged just yet. This is partly due to the number of people switching over to using their contactless bank cards or mobile payment technology for travelling on the network.
Perhaps in an alternate universe, Londoners could be using Gem or Pulse cards to pay for their transport.
