Default Oyster Capping announced by BBC

It strikes me you might save money with Oyster PrePay, especially if you
travel at weekends or after 7pm, when the fares are much lower. You
really have to think ahead for each days travel, using the fares
leaflet, and then work out what will be cheapest. SORRY!


Fine, but plans do change especially if you're out for a day. Costing out
what might be the cheapest option in advance isn't always a practical
solution. And whilst TfL fares all come together in a nice easy to read
guide, nothing equivalent exists for the plethora of NR point to point
tickets prices covering the same area. Hence a ODTC is the ideal solution
in many cases.

PrePay capping is an obvious advantage, pay for what you've used with the
guarantee of not having to pay more than the cost of the ODTC. Unless of
course you use NR......
