Non-ITSO Systems
The largest commercial-based scheme is by Transport for London, marketed as Oyster. Currently, Oyster is not compatible with the ITSO specification. TfL has funded Oyster readers for all London rail stations in London zones 1-6, and the Department for Transport has worked with TfL to ensure the readers will also be compatible with the ITSO Specification.
The UK equivalent interoperability organisation for sectors other than transport ticketing is Lasseo which provides an open specification for UK Local Authorities to add public services onto ITSO based cards, and a Scottish consortium of local authorities looks at standard and interoperability issues in Scotland.

Famous quotes containing the word systems:
“What avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious? I know of many systems of religion esteemed heathenish whose precepts fill the reader with shame, and provoke him to new endeavors, though it be to the performance of rites merely.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
