Oyster could be lost to new technology, Assembly hears

Transport for London is considering replacing Oyster with new ticketing systems operated through mobile phones or bankcards, the London Assembly heard.

At a meeting of the Assembly’s Budget and Performance Committee, TfL representatives said they were looking at various technologies and providers to take over from Oyster in 2010.  TfL announced in August that they were terminating early the current contract with TranSys for delivering Oyster ticketing.
