If you can beat Oyster fares then why are you whinging?


I think Colin's point, with which I agree, is that there are a
number of types of journey that are more expensive using Oyster.

However, whenever anyone mentions this, we seem to be dubbed "the
anti-Oyster brigade" by people whose knowledge of travel patterns
other than their own seems somewhat limited.


They get accused of being anti-Oyster when they complain about a
"rip-off" that is, in fact, not charging more to anyone but the
paranoid and the lazy.


Er, charging twice as much for cash as on Oyster isn't a rip-off? What
is this world you inhabit?
