Default Oyster prepay capping

WHEN it comes in the capped fare will be according to what you travel and
when.

3 journeys in zone 1&2 cost £6.00
With capping on Pre-Pay:

1 - £2.00
2 - £2.00
3 - £0.30
4+ NIL

When you travel out then to say zone 6 the additional fare would be £1.00
(assuming after 09.30 travel).

When capping comes in it will make the pre-pay oyster far more user
friendly.

Is there any more news on when Oyster prepay capping might be
available? The April edition of The Londoner has the obligatory
Oyster article which says:

Fare capping will save Pre Pay users money by stopping the
total cost of journeys made on a single day going above the
price of a one day Travelcard.

These sounds like good news compared to the rumors that capping
would be at the level of an LT card, assuming the Londoner is
accurate...


A LT card is a one day travelcard, if you travel before 09:30 ;-)
