If I have not understood your question properly please provide your
calculations / examples and I'll have another look.


One example would be

4 x bus journey between 0700 and 0930 4 x £ 1.00

Then 2 x Z1-5 return on the tube between 0930 and 1900, 2 x £ 3.50

Does Oyster

a) Apply the Peak Day travelcard Z1-5 cap (£ 9.90) or

b) The Off Peak Z1-6 cap (£5.80) plus one day bus pass (£3.00),
total £ 8.80?

For the bus journeys a cap of £3 would be applied after 3 trips. The 4th
is free.

The cap then moves up to £5.80 (off peak cap for journeys Z1-6 using DLR
/ Tube) which means you get 1 bus ride free plus are only charged £2.80
for tube trips valued at £7. Therefore you save £5.20 against the grand
total if each trip was being charged separately.
