It contains the same information as any Oyster card. So if necessary
your last (I believe) 63 days of travel can be produced as a printed
document, called an OCTA printout.

Does it also include an ITSO spec national bus pass nowadays - so that it
can be used on buses elsewhere in England?

I haven't tested mine, but that was what we were told when the current
passes were issued.

Mine has worked in Cambridge but didn't on a Birmingham bus.
