in cash single fares on the Tubes and buses, but the BBC News story

It is that simple.

Not if you get on the bus and find you are out of credit.


How is this different from getting on a bus and finding you are out of
money?


Because I can check first.

Remind me. Where do I get one of these Oyster credit
checkers to keep in my pocket?


So Oyster is crap because you can't keep track of something as simple
as how much pre-pay you have on it?
