Oyster card

An Oyster card was what Christina de Souza referred to as "that card paying device thing" — an electronic card used to pay for bus trips in London. Whereas Christina was forced to give the bus driver her diamond earrings for her trip when she didn't have an oyster card or a "lobster card", the Tenth Doctor simply used his psychic paper in its place. Christina desperately claimed that she "only use[d] [her] Oyster when there [was] an 'R' in the month"; it was April. (TV: Planet of the Dead)
