Transport for London (TfL) and Virgin Media are considering plans to offer Wi-Fi in conjunction with pre-paid Oyster plans.
The Wi-Fi service provided by Virgin media through 80 underground stations was originally seen as being provided on a pay-as-you-go model after the service stops being free at the end of the Olympic games.
The new plans come as TfL and Virgin raised concerns over the profitability of the pay-as-you-go model. The new model would see Oyster cards include Wi-Fi as an additional cost.
