Default Oyster prepay capping

SJCWHUK wrote:

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.

And way more useful than Carnet, which it isn't really at the moment for
Z1 journeys. Looking forward to it.

Any word on buses yet... :-/ I keep holding out buying Savers in the
vain hope that TfL will announce bus prepay.

Will the system be intelligent enough to work out the following in any
order?
Bus 1: £0.70 (£0.70)
Bus 2: £0.70 (£1.40)
Bus 3: £0.70 (£2.10)
Bus 4: £0.40 (£2.50 = bus pass)
Tube (Z1) 1: £1.60 (£4.10)
Tube (Z1) 2: £0.20 (£4.30 = ODTC)

(Assuming one hasn't got fed up of buses by #4...)
