Default Travel card month card cheaper than Oyster ?

It *is* crap that many people in Greater London using poor-perfomance TOC
services are paying between 5.3 and 11% more than need to because they're
using TCs on Oyster thanks to lots of expensive TfL advertising which is
somewhat misleasing to a southern Greater London rail-dominated audience.
For a Z1-6 Travelcard bought monthly that's £100 more per year for an
Oyster user at my station, Bexley in Zone 6. If the 10% discount was in
operation of course, it would be around £210 more per year. These are not
trivial amounts.

You can tell it's late - that should of course be "around £100" and "around
£200".
