Is it mind-games like those played by TfL, where they insist *everyone*
to touch in and out, just to make sure that the PAYG people they want to
charge are conditioned to touch in and out. Meanwhile the season ticket
holders are doing an irrelevant dance.

But TfL don't insist that everyone touch in and out, only Oyster users.

sigh this thread is about Oyster cards.

So what about 60+ Oyster cards? These also don't need to be touched in and
out.

They are just a class of season ticket.

What was that you said about TfL insisting that *everyone* touch in and
out?

True of Oyster cards, which is what the thread is about.

It turns out you meant only Oyster users,

Which is what the thread is about.

and then only the PayG subset of them.

No, the whole point is they try to insist *all* Oyster users touch in
and out, even the season ticket holders where it doesn't make any
difference (unless of course that season ticket holder later exits at a
station outside the validity of his season).

Which, of course, is exactly why season ticket holders are supposed to
touch in and out.
