To me it's just a case of a stupid animal mascot complicating what should be simple and direct messaging. I realise I'm probably just being a grumpy bastard but I feel like if you showed this signage to someone from London Underground's design team, they'd have a heart attack.

Why do none of the signs clearly and unambiguously explain that you need to tap your payment card before boarding and after disembarking to pay? All the "toto says" stuff is a total waste of space. It's embarrassing.
