London's Oystercard Gets New Contract, But Same Suppliers

Posted by timothy on from the captain-amazing-wears-no-glasses dept.

nk497 writes "Over the summer, the London travelcard ticketing system — called Oyster — fell over twice, forcing the transport authority to offer free travel to the six million Londoners using the system. After that, it cut its contract with the supplier of the system, a consortium called TranSys. But now, Transport for London has signed a new contract to replace the TranSys one — with the same two companies that made up the TranSys consortium. Sure, that should fix everything."

    Skip the transportation, what is with the UK and bathroom sinks?
    Why do they have two nozzles? A single nozzle is great for temperature control and don't cause any wash back or have any additional disease risk.
