It cost me 2 quid to go 1 mile because I had to pay by cash. Is that

I think one of the first thingsborisshould at is ditch Kens

cash fares to deliberately force occasional commuters to use Oyster to
no benefit to themselves but every benefit to TfL.

Why not? Or perhaps you'd like to pay double for petrol at a filling
station if you pay by cash instead of paying with BP Card or Shell
Card or whatever?
