I think this is less of a big deal in London because-- and the article entirely glosses over this prospect-- TfL accept contactless (e.g. contactless-enabled debit/credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay). This means anyone can land in London and immediately ride public transit using their existing bank card.

*Anyone with a bank account. Or is this a less significant problem in the UK compared to the US?
