If you took four bus journeys and then a single zone 3 tube journey,
in that order, would you be charged...

£3 (cap for bus pass) plus £1 (single Oyster tube journey in zone 3)
totallying £4

or

£3.20 (cap removed when Oyster realises a tube journey is then taken)
plus £1 (single Oyster tube journey in zone 3) ???


If it's the above, then that's cool.

If it's the second option, then perhaps it's a good idea to have two
PAYG cards - one for buses, and one for tubes when bus caps have been
reached!


It would be the first of those two options. The 'bus cap' would
remain and a further £1 would be deducted for the Z3 tube journey.



Whoooops!!! No, it wouldn't. I forgot about the Z2-6 cap at £3.80.
So a further 80p would be deducted for the Z3 tube journey and further
journeys could be made without deduction on buses and on tubes in Z2-6.

The capping will always move on to the most appropriate level.

NB the bus journeys may have been in Z1 but that doesn't matter - a
Z2-6 cap (or any cap) covers bus journeys in any and all zones.
