You memorize a long list, or ...

.... you stop caring about such little things.

There still needs to be a lot of clarification on these issues... most
people really haven't a clue, including often myself, as to how much a
journey is likely to cost me, whether my journey will be capped on my
Oyster, etc etc. When will it be simplified - or at least, an attempt
to bring the NR prices more in line with tube prices?

It doesn't need simplifying. Oyster is the best of all possible worlds.
