Can somebody explain how capping works if you have a 'pay as you go'
oystercard ? If you only used the buses but then suddenly had to jump on a
tube, will you be charged again until you reach the next capping level, and
then so on if you end up going through more than one zone ?

At what point would it be better to buy a 1 day travelcard instead of
relying on the capping ?

If you stick to busses, you are capped at the price of a one-day bus
pass. If you use tube as well, you are capped at the price of a
one-day travelcard. Or slightly less - isn't there a small discount?

You need to buy a paper TC if you need to use National Rail within th
travelcard zone. NR are dragging their heels at implementing oyster
pre-pay.
