Any projected ETA on monthly caps?

The problem with monthly caps is that it's almost certainly going to be
based on a defined month of 1st-31st, which isn't going to suit the vast
majority of people

I used to be paid 13 times a year, ie a 4-week, 28 day month starting on a
Monday (a calendar was supplied)

As is the state pension but that is probably not very relevant to
commuters!
Which reminds me of an entirely OT story. Many,many years ago when my
employer wanted to change junior office staff from a weekly cheque to
monthly payment, it had to recognise that said staff used to rush off
to their bank at lunchtime and cash the weekly cheque. Many would be
in real trouble if they had to do without a payment until the end of
the month. So the monthly cheque would be in advance but because of
the UK's strange tax year, it woud be on the 5th of the month! My
company pension is still paid that way 65 years later.
Which just goes to show the word "monthly" can have a variety of
meanings!
