Question to all the Londoners reading this and on my flist? How successful has the Oyster System been? And do you agree with the praises lauded in this article? Curious minds want to know.

[Poll #1727767]

Off-topic, just in case you wondered if it is possible to manipulate statistics? I've got proof, apparently there are software products that aid in data and statistical manipulation. Why do it yourself, when your computer can do it for you? (Google - SAS Systems - Statistical Manipulation or Data Manipulation.)

Yes, the biggest one I remember was due to a bad software update that erased the data on people's cards when they touched in. Fortunately I wasn't travelling that morning.

From what I read - I think you would have gotten to travel for free until they corrected it. (Although that might be another occurence).
