Default New Fares

I think that the concept of cheaper fares on Pre Pay is something very
difficult to explain to the casual traveller. Indeed, even the thought
of having to buy tickets from a roadside machine before climbing on a
'bus seems to put off many of my clients!


Would it be possible for you to buy a 'job lot' of unregistered Oyster
PrePay, with, say £5 credit on them for you to sell on to your clients,
after some explanation. There would be some faff factor, but possibly
less in the long run.

Those of your clients with Internet access could be advised to visit the
TfL website in advance, so they understand the system a bit better.
Slapping an Oyster on a reader should not be daunting.
