    1. Very few cities have actually moved away from local cards to open loop cards. London is one in a small list and it was both expensive and complicated.

    2. You're assuming that they're not doing any work towards moving from Leap to open loop.

    3. You're assuming that it's not possible for them to work on improving Leap and moving to open loop at the same time. This would obviously be a sensible strategy since any move away from Leap is likely to take a long time and there are immediate benefits to making passengers switch from cash to solve form of card.
