Default New fares (with ES spin...)

The prepay etc. fares are just a smoke screen. It's like a firm saying -
"look, we haven't put our prices up this year but, for those of you not
paying by direct debit you'll now pay another £2/month!"


Well yes but the objective is to get the remaining 15% of passengers out
of cash and into some form of pre-payment.



So why the ****ting hell is it still not possible to put one day bus
passes/travelcards on Oyster?

These are surely the most popular, and very often best value tickets for the
occasional or semi-frequent traveller, but the entire Pre Pay system
excludes them - outside of this notion of 'capping' which was promised
months ago, but which I fear will ne'er be introduced.
