Transport for London revealed July 6 that its passengers have made more than 1 billion pay-as-you-go journeys using contactless payment cards, with 40 percent of all pay-as-you-go trips paid for with contactless payment, up from 25 percent a year ago.

The campaign for the Lucozade Energy brand launched last week, with bottles distributed free at major London train stations and commuter hubs.
