Because TfL wants daily capping to make day travelcards redundant.
Trouble is, all the rules are operating as if NR accepts PAYG, even
though that wished-for situation is years away.
I think you've misspelt, decades


Er.. January 2009 within the London Fare zonal area.


That's what TfL is hoping for, which doesn't mean it is going to
happen. Mr Thant, on his weblog entry that summarises the February TfL
board meeting, describes the roll out of Oyster PAYG as being
"pencilled in for next January"...

Some of the TOCs might thus still be wielding their erasers.


Sure, I've seen all that [I've snipped it] - the previous poster's view was
that it will take decades, ie more than 20 years...
