It's basically the same here in London; although if you're a local you're more likely to have an annual (or monthly) pass or possibly automatic top-up if you pay as you go.

Not sure that is totally fair, especially as Oyster allows you to go into negative balance over a journey as long as you have enough for the minimum fare on your card when you touch in.
