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 day 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.

Yes, I acknowledge the credit risk issue, but I wonder if there
couldn't be some sort of way of dealing with this e.g. an initial
deposit payment or some such, until a person is regarded as being
trusted.

Also, for weekly capping, my solution would be to simply set a
discrete cycle that starts say on a Monday - if there was no such
cycle it'd become horrendously, unmanageably complicated I'd think, if
not simply unworkable. (Another option I suppose could be each punter
being able to specify their own cycle which applied to their own
account.)
