The problem with monthly caps is that it's almost certainly going to be based on a defined month of 1st-31st, which isn't going to suit the vast majority of people I used to be paid 13 times a year, ie a 4-week, 28 day month starting on a Monday (a calendar was supplied) Would this suit better ? the point is that "monthly" only worse advantageously if you arrange it so um, "works" Not quite - obviously it works most advantageously if you can arrange it so, but taking a zone 1-3 fare as an example and 52 weeks and 12 months in a year: Yearly cost buying 52 weeks - 12 months - 1 year = £1976 - £1752 - £1520 Optimised (48 weeks, 11 months, 1 year) = £1824 - £1606 - £1520 So, obviously if you can optimise it monthly is better as £1606 £1824, but even if you don't £1752 is still £1824 but not by as much. |
