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:
“No civilization ... would ever have been possible without a framework of stability, to provide the wherein for the flux of change. Foremost among the stabilizing factors, more enduring than customs, manners and traditions, are the legal systems that regulate our life in the world and our daily affairs with each other.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
