*if* the scheme also has daily and weekly capping, that will simulate
almost all the properties of a daily/weekly paper travelcard, so no need
for people to want one of those.

Well, we already know, I think, that it *won't* charge and refund for
individual entries and exits, but will instead make a single charge at
the end of the day for the total fare for that day.

But that weekly, capped, travelcard-equivalent won't be one paywave for
~£40, it'll be the sum of lots of ~£2 trips capped at ~£6 a day over a 7
day period.

Well, I imagine that when they implement weekly capping they will
still take the money daily (not weekly). So it will be the sum of
lots of daily totals, none of which will exceed the daily cap, of
course.
