I wonder how many people who refuse Oyster cards are working in the
black economy and don't want their regular 5-day a week journies from
A-to-B recorded?

I think the main reason is that some people live in zone 2 north - say
Kentish Town - but work in zone 2 on the other side of zone 1 - say Canary
Wharf. By buying a zone 2 paper weekly they hope to avoid the fare for zone
1 every day, which with Oyster they can't do; i know that many people have
switched back to paper tickets because Oyster charged them an extra £3.20 a
day.

When weeklies change to Oyster I think these people will simply buy their
weeklies from NR stations.
