i have one of those oyster over 60s london bus pass anyway i use it daily and after about a year it was looking worse for wear but as you have to go through a lot of red tape to get a replacement i stuck with it , one day i was coming home from work and got on the bus (you cannot use cash on london buses ) i had no cash on me at all anyway and i dont use credit cards ,i swished the card on the buses machine and it gave out a red light for rejection , the driver was a right fookin jobsworth who said i couldnt travel without a new card ,it was pointless arguing with the khoont and i didnt want to delay the passengers already on board so after giving him a mouthfull of abuse i got off and would have had to walk the couple of miles home . after a lot of fookin about i got a replacement card about a week later . just a small example of what can go wrong with the cashless way .

To be honest I dont really know. Maybe the people who get scammed just aren't important enough? Electronic money today can definitely be traced. I would be surprised if it isnt possible today. But to be honest, I dont know why scammers get away with it. The telephone scammers also never seem to get caught. My guess is the public simply isnt important enough for these resources to be used to 'help' them.
My post actually was referring to the future, though I of course failed to properly mention that. When we do go cashless, the emoney will probably be traceable. A simple and unique tag attached to every unit of money should be an easy thing to do, considering there is only going to be finite money. Stolen cash is simply not traceable. Even if you knew the serial numbers or put in bait money, you will have to wait for he thief to first use that money, and second for that money to be brought to a bank. With emoney, the stolen money will exist in the system, just at a different address. Again, I dont know how easy that is to achieve, but even if its partly achievable, it still makes it way more traceable than cash. Also people are complaining about the government being able to control what exactly people do with their money, where it goes and where it comes from. Surely they are already assuming the money will be traceable? Other than the government control aspect which I completely agree with, I haven't seen one good reason for not going cashless. Your Oyster card issue is interesting and I remember being surprised at a similar oyster when I visited. I assume you have to go to the nearest tube station to buy another card? If yes, how is that any different from you losing your paper money and having to walk to the next atm to get some cash? |

It is the freedom pass i think he is on about it's what the oldies get in London to travel around for free
We outside of the everything is about us city get the useless free bus pass So if you lose it i would imagine you have to supply two forms of identity or similar to get a replacement,which in itself is getting difficult as we move to a paperless society. No cash,No paper,I'm off to make a time machine Most tube stations are like what will be happening to a railway station near you no phone no ticket. |

They are the ones installing 5G and reducing the population by 7bn by 2025. They are also the same people with the chemtrails. Same people making us sick with the vaccines. Same people trying to snatch our cash.
They are confused. I don't see any other explanation of them working so hard to feck us. |

sorry lads been away from this forum for a couple of days ,yes it was the freedom oyster pass , if i did have cash it would be no use on the bus i would have to have gone to the nearest newsagents and purchased an oyster card for £6 last i heard and then put at least a fiver on it in order to get home as its 2 bus journeys .
