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)

Would this suit better ?

the point is that "monthly" only worse advantageously if you arrange
it so

um, "works"


Not quite - obviously it works most advantageously if you can arrange it
so, but taking a zone 1-3 fare as an example and 52 weeks and 12 months
in a year:

Yearly cost buying 52 weeks - 12 months - 1 year = £1976 - £1752 - £1520
Optimised (48 weeks, 11 months, 1 year) = £1824 - £1606 - £1520

So, obviously if you can optimise it monthly is better as £1606 £1824,
but even if you don't £1752 is still £1824 but not by as much.
