Default New Fares

The cost benefits are not properly communicated either. I think some
people cannot beleive that the "technological option" can be cheaper
than buying paper tickets. How many low paid workers using the tube
before 06:30 know they could be getting discounted fares by using
Oyster? How has this group been targetted with marketing? How
about people who do not have English as a first language?


So, we're now on the same page - having gone via most of the Tube
system, hopefully using an Oystercard to keep the fare down

Do you, then, agree that this not-insignificant matter should be
sorted out *before* punitive fares on paper ticketing are introduced?
