 More Information:   Transport for London (TfL) has bought the rights to the Oyster Card brand for £1m.

It means TfL can look at other uses of the Oyster electronic smartcard system, which is currently used as a pre-pay ticketing service.

It has said it had already undertaken a trial of Oyster on bank cards and mobile phones.

TfL has bought the rights from TranSys, whose contract to run the service expires this August.
