Commuters in London will soon be able to avail the Oyster card scheme courtesy Nokia and the O2 Network. Via the in built-in RFID chips in mobile phones, one will be able to pay for train tickets by swiping their handset over the Oyster card reader. The cost would then be deducted from a commuter’s bank account or added to the customer's monthly phone bill.
