Probably due to post moderation "today" can be any day in the past weeks.cant find this on catch up or on the channel 5 website ?
I watched the programme and enjoyed it....What interested me was the fact that with the Oyster card,you are tracked where you go,when you go and along with cameras everywhere and in particular at barriers you can be seen...This applies to the tube,as the programme showed the buses as well...The level of info available both on buses and tube was very eye opening...Beware they can see you !!!
And of course if you have registered it they actually know who you are rather than having to put a name to the faces via the credit card you used to top up the Oyster.I watched the programme and enjoyed it....What interested me was the fact that with the Oyster card,you are tracked where you go,when you go and along with cameras everywhere and in particular at barriers you can be seen...This applies to the tube,as the programme showed the buses as well...The level of info available both on buses and tube was very eye opening...Beware they can see you !!!
The level of tracking can be very useful in more mundane ways, if you're willing to ignore the big brother aspect. For example, when I was regularly using TFL buses I'd often get directed emails telling me of changes, diversions etc to the routes they knew I frequently used. Far more convenient than big lists detailing every route which I'd assume few people would bother reading.
I don't know if they still do this or have stopped in (over?) reaction to GDPR.
Sorry off topic but XP still forms the back bone of many retail it systems!Still seems to be a lot of Windows XP lingering in the IT from what I've seen watching this!
Quite alarming really when even Windows 7 is starting to go end of support...
This was not so subtly picked up in a previous post in this thread (and has since been deleted). I can think of a couple of explanations:Just an observation, but all but one so far of the fare evaders have been from BME groups. Is there any reason why this would be so?

- It's filmed in London where there happen to be lots of BME people
- It's Channel 5, who seem to like picking out sections of society (poor people on benefits etc...) anddemonising themmaking "entertainment" out of it.

High BAME population in London, and on average they aren’t as wealthy (more “need” to avoid paying). Possibly more likely to be on buses as commute shorter distances (wealthier living further out, though that is changing with gentrification)
The TfL bods seem to waste a lot of money on colour printing. All those Oyster system Print-outs seemed to have a colour TfL heading at the top when nothing else on the page required colour.
The guy that was travelling from Colliers Wood to Stockwell or Finsbury Park followed by a bus on a zone 2-3 Travelcard - why was this flagged as fare evasion?
I watched episode 2 on catch-up yesterday and it said it was available until 2023... I was about to ask the same about episode 1....Only episode 3 is available on catch-up, does anyone know why the first 2 have dropped off?
