Valid question, one that I've pondered on before. There is some
precedence, as the paper one-day Bus Pass was withdrawn by TfL in
January


A significant difference, however, is that there is an Oyster bus/tram
price cap of £3.95, with AFAIK no equivalent of the out-of-boundary
tickets valid on buses. *So there is no real requirement to have paper
and Oyster bus-only passes co-existing because they serve exactly the
same purpose.


True - though the cap is £3.90, not £3.95 (regardless, something of an
increase over last year's £3.30, but that's another discussion!).
