Oyster PAYG with two caps?

Peak bus and Z1-3 or less off peak tube would be best capped at the peak travelcard rate. But peak bus and Z1-4 or more off peak tube would be cheaper with a combination of bus cap and off-peak travelcard cap. Does this work or do I need two Oyster cards? If I have not understood your question properly please provide your calculations / examples and I'll have another look. I think he means that the difference between peak and off-peak cap for the Z1-5 and Z1-6 caps are bigger than the £3 bus-only cap. Example: Lots of bus journeys in the morning, capped at £3. Then lots of tube journeys in the evening in zones 1-2, would normaly be capped at £4.40, but the lots of bus journeys in the morning makes a peak cap of £5.70 cheaper for all of the journeys. Example: Lots of bus journeys in the morning, capped at £3. Then lots of tube journeys in the evening in zones 1-6, would be capped at £5.80 because a peak cap of £11.90 would be more expensive for all of the journeys so here the bus journeys and the tube journeys are capped separately. (...or do you need two separate Oyster cards for this effect, I do not know that for sure, have not tested it.) -- Olof Lagerkvist ICQ: 724451 Web: http://here.is/olof |
