A wave of the hand
I spent about a week in London traveling around via tube, bus and the occasional taxi. On the plus side of having distance-based fares on the tube, the Oyster card - a proximity card - is a great little device, I don't actually have to remove it from my wallet, and the £21 for a week-long zones 1/2 pass is a pretty good deal for a tourist.

For locals, the OysterCard is London's version of a SmartTrip card -- works the same way.
I've got the 'GoTo' card here in Minneapolis, which also is a proximity card system. We had the readers first in the nation -- the vendor *still* has not fixed the bugs and it is still in a perpetual testing state for nearly *two* years. I'm surprised the system is sticking with it.
Keeping the card in the wallet rocks, though.
