Well, I imagine that when they implement weekly capping they will

But why do you imagine that?


Well, apart from the fact that there's no discrete weekly cycle for
7 dayy Travelcards and it remains to be seen just how flexible the
weekly capping implementation will be, I really can't see TfL
switching to a system where they don't make a charge against your card
until 7 days after you travel - it massively increases the credit risk
thatn TfL is taking for little-to-no benefit that I can see.
