The article on IanVisits discusses how Transport for London (TfL) experienced a significant decrease in paper ticket sales due to a simple pop-up message on their ticket machines. This message, which appeared when travelers attempted to purchase a paper ticket, suggested that using an Oyster card or contactless payment could be cheaper.
