Don't be absurd. TfL are only taking the risk when the stolen card is
used to BUY TRAVEL!!

That's not what you said in your previous post. I made a point about the
general insecurity of contactless cards, which is the reason why the
transaction limit is low (in all countries, not just the UK).

You replied with "For all we know the risk is being borne by TfL"
(although I've seen no claim from them that they will bear the risk).

If he's using the card to buy packets of cigarettes, that's not TfL's
problem, or a new problem, or indeed anything to do with this thread.

It's the bank's problem, which is why I doubt that they will be prepared
to expose themselves to the risk of raising the limit.

I guess you're thinking that an exception could be made for TfL - I
don't know if that would be technically possible, as there are no
exceptions for anything at present. But even if it was possible, it
would be one heck of a job to persuade all the issuers of Visa,
MasterCard and AmEx credit and debit cards around the world to
reprogramme their systems and issue revised instructions to customers
for the sake of one small scheme in London which doesn't at the moment
look very attractive.
