The whole thing is totally f*cking outrageous. There is suppposed to
be a cap, but they now have a system that says "if we don't like you,
the cap doesn't apply" (and we don't like you if you don't jump through
our hoops, regardless of whether you have already been charged the
maximum for a day).


People have been cheating the system ever since it was introduced. Too
****ing right it gets clamped down on.



And the option that remains, if you don't want to get ripped off, is to
keep on cheating.

Explain why charging someone who has already paid the maximum for the
day should be charged an extra £4 when it is known that they can't
possibly be avoiding any fare that they would actually pay?
