Default Receipts for Oyster pre-pay?

In message , at 14:23:24 on
Sun, 5 Mar 2006, Phil Clark remarked:
My employer has apparently always taken tube tickets on trust - after
all it's a fixed price and easy to check that you're claiming the
right amount for the distance travelled.


Getting back to transport with a bump: Tube fares are significantly
cheaper with an Oyster, leaving the opportunity for some people to claim
the cash fare and make a profit. An old employer of mine would only pay
the carnet fare, rather than per-journey tickets.
