Default oyster and automatic travelcards

I've always had to ask myself each time I use the tube - what am I
doing today? Do I need a one day travelcard or is a straight single
each way going to be enough? If there's a strong possibility I'll be
doing more than a straight return, or using bus and tube, I buy a
travelcard. I only use my pre-pay Oyster on the days when I wouldn't
have needed a travelcard.


My pattern of use pretty much matches yours. So, one wonders, what is the
point of people like us having an Oyster card at all? I am just sticking to
ODTCs or return tickets until such time as Oyster becomes smarter.

Weekend Tube tickets are quite a lot cheaper on Oyster Pre Pay.
