Does London Have the Most User-Friendly Public Transit?
In preparation for the 2012 Olympics, the City of London has announced its plans to introduce a revolutionary ticketing system to allow easier access to its public transit network.
From ThisBigCity.net:
"Londoners and visitors to the city will soon be able to pay for public transport simply by using their contactless debit or credit card."
"The timing of this change is, of course, vital. With the eyes of the world on London, and millions of visitors flocking to the city in 2012, a simple and accessible transport network will improve London’s functionality for both tourists and locals, presenting the city in a positive light at the same time."
According to Joe Peach of This Big City, the London transit network is currently accessible by cash or a public transit card (called an Oyster card).
