London's buses are to become cashless from this summer, Transport for London (TfL) has said.
It predicts that, because of the Oyster card, the number of cash fares on buses will fall to less than 1% this year.
That compares with 20% of journeys being paid by cash 10 years ago.
TfL said it would introduce a 'one more journey' feature that will allow passengers to make one more bus trip if there are insufficient funds on their Oyster card.
The decision comes following a public consultation last year in which 37,000 people responded.
