My local bus company offers a (presumably ITSO) contactless smartcard

used in the same way as the OAP passes, the user places the wallet flat
on a plate next to the ticket printer and the machine beeps and the
driver's touchscreen flashes green to indicate acceptance.

So does Oyster. But it'd be rather nice to be able to have one card
that works throughout the country. I suspect that card may be a
contactless credit or debit card once everyone has them.
