Pre Pay Oyster or annual travelcard?
In message
, Sunil Sood writes Does anyone know of a website which is able to calculate whether using PAYG Oyster or an annual Travelcard is better value for an individual? I don't, but I can't see how PAYG would ever be cheaper than an annual Travelcard for somebody making the same journey for 5 days a week throughout most of the year. Although there is a big up-front payment, with interest rates at their current low levels I suspect that an annual travel card will always be cheaper - and, of course, it can also be used for shopping or leisure trips at any time without additional cost. The advantage of PAYG is for occasional travellers, part-time workers, those that often wish to go beyond their Travelcard zones, tourists, and the like. -- Paul Terry |
