Default Boris - remove this absurd Oyster vs cash cost disparity

Not true. Other walks of life tend to offer *only* card payments when they

The petrol stations probably do that for security reasons for the
attendent. You probably can't buy anything from the shop using any
form of payment either. As for Westminster , didn't you notice the
uproar about that or have you been in another country for the last
year?
