Default Oyster in Other Towns

I Believe that Stagecoach Merseyside are currently running a
Mastercard scheme - possibly Paypass, but the revenue through it is
pretty poor - less than £100 a week I was told.

Some parts of the New York Subway did a trial where Citibank-issued
MasterCard PayPass cards could be used to pay for journeys - I was
hoping to give it a try with my OnePulse card (which uses Visa PayWave
- which should be interoperable with PayPass) last year, but it
appeared that the PayWave functionality didn't work on any of the
readers I tried it on, both on and off the Subway.


Easier to implement over there, of course, as there is just an entry
fee, no complex fare structure.
