Weekly, monthly or longer *Bus Passes* that are loaded onto Oyster cards are (shock horror) only
valid on TfL buses.
As K. Liv said "the train companies are dragging their feet despite being offered the equipment
and installation for free, but if we can take the railways in the zoned region under our control
we'll sort it out without delay. Why are the railways dragging their feet in what is the densest
used urban network in the world?

Because as private companies they only care about making money and
satisfying the requirements of their franchise agreements.

There is nothing in the agreements about accepting Oyster Pre Pay and
they do not see it as a way of making more money so they do nothing (or
worse than nothing, obstruct).

The only way to get things moving is for all future operators in (or partly in)
the TfL region to have a franchise requirement to accept Oyster Prepay.
