To be honest I haven’t really read into it very much apart from the initial info about the new oysters.
All this discussion of Oyster cards reminded me - I don’t carry mine in my wallet because I find that either the wallet or some other card in there interferes with the process; Oyster lives on its own in my back pocket. I also prefer to keep it separate so that on a night out, I’ll have to lose two things before I find myself unable to get home. So far, neither has been lost, thank heavens.
Let’s see. I currently have:
Left fold, front to back:
A card tracking my beer consumption at a local drinkery.
A card that gets me a buck off purchases at the BBQ place right by my work.
Library card.
AAA card.
Credit Card.
Auto insurance identification.
Right fold, front to back:
Gamestop rewards card.
Health insurance card.
Debit card.
My driver license is in the middle fold thing.
