Fare rises , legalised extortion?
Paul Terry wrote: In message .com, Boltar writes Sure , you can use it in prepay mode but you'll pay through the nose if you make more than a few journeys whereas a travelcard is a one off cost. PAYG is capped at or below the rate of the equivalent one-day travel card and is therefore generally the cheaper alternative. Really? Well thats news to me when I used it once for 3 trips and didn't have enough to make a 4th even though I'd had the equivalent value of a travelcard on it. Bug in the system? And what about the maximum fare being deducted if you don't swipe it? That doesn't happen with a travelcard. B2003 |

B2003 Maybe that's where you went wrong, because you do have to keep touching in and out, and the penalty fare that you pay for not touching in/out does not count towards the daily cap. |

didn't have enough to make a 4th even though I'd had the equivalent value of a travelcard on it. Bug in the system? When was "once"? The cap was introduced on 27 Feb 2005. |
