But simultaneously TfL are ending the Oyster Pay As You Go price
differential between peak and off-peak travel on the buses. Why are
they contradicting their policy to incentivise encourage off-peak
travel? Wasn't one of the reasons for introducing Oyster the ease with
which it handles this differential pricing?

Did 20p really make much of a difference anyway? Considering most of
the "commuters" would probably hold a bus pass, for which the price
stays the same regardless of time of day, and those who don't may end
up being capped for doing more than 3 Jrnys.
