Can you still buy a single trip with cash if that's all you need?
The London Underground sells, or used to sell, day passes designed specifically for tourists. They were only good from something like 10:30 AM on, so as to prevent commuters from using them.
The Tristate is charging twice as much for cash and online customers as for transponders. That's gouging tourists with a vengeance, but I don't mind much because it's not that expensive and I'll only be there for a few days, and it's laid out clearly on the website, not as a hidden surprise.
