My need, and that of people all over the Home Counties, for singles
is very limited, two tickets so far this year. A one-day travel card
(with a Network Card) is only £1.65 more than a day return to King's
Cross and a Saver return to Zones 1 & 2 £1.20 more than a Saver to
King's Cross. So prepay isn't usable for millions of such travellers.

So, carry on buying your ODTC. You don't need Oyster Pre-Pay. Why are
you worrying?

But once my journey goes over one day because I stay in London overnight
there are no suitable fares that don't rip me off.

If the Underground was less unpleasant and faster I would use it more
and get an Oyster but between Putney and Westminster is faster by bike
and a lot more pleasant. I get a seat for starters. I've only used the
Underground when the weather is foul and wet and not every time this
year even then.
