From Oct all Monthly and seasonals will be Oysters. Anyway why are people
moaning, the idea initially was cause people were moaning that they had to
take the tickety out of their little wallety and it was getting damaged by
the machiney weanny.

In Singapore when you enter the ticket into the machine it instantly tells
you onscreen where all your journeys have been - that have been logged to
that card.

Its part of technology and progress - anywhere you go now you see it - old
style garage, 4 working pumps (closed Sundays still) No air line and hoover
working crap bog etc, New style, almost a brand new mini - supermarket with
a Pret a Manger for sarnies and Starbucks for that 04.00am Coffee along with
16 pumps all working and number plate recognition cameras along with working
hoover and air pump.

Technology improves all our ways of life to varying degrees some are more

trace your movements - mobile phones, cashpoints, speed cameras, CCTV in
shops, Passports, Loyalty cards etc to name a few
