TfL acknowledges contactless technology risk
On 24/06/2014 20:48, Mark Bestley wrote: [...] Keeping your Oyster card in your wallet or purse with other cards could cause card clash. This all looks like commonsense to me - and I only visit the capital occasionally. Yes but I currently have one holder for all cards - who will pay for the extra holders I need now? Plastic ticket wallets can be obtained for free from ticket offices (whilst they're still open) and I think 'Oyster Stop' newsagents Can Tfl assure me that I get a red light and not credit the wrong card. No. The current system works. How can I keep it? The system is changing, so you can't (the world changes). Many people will find the new system - of being able to pay by contactless payment cards (rather than Oyster) - very convenient. If you have a contactless payment card, when CPC payments go live across all modes (shortly), take your Oyster card out of your card holder and use your CPC instead. |

No. That is the important point - I can live with the otherr errors and carry on complaing but getting it wring is a problem. Oh well it means slowing the process down so I can confirm that the correct card has ben registered - I assume that any process is incorrect until shown exactly what happened from long experience with computers The current system works.
