I assumed that by 'what can be bought elsewhere' Offramp meant Oyster
prepay. Saver tickets seemed a good idea compared to cash fares when
they were introduced, since they should have sped up boarding and
reduced the amount of cash carried on buses. But given we now have
Oyster, which allows people to pay for travel in advance and thus get
discounted travel, and is presumably less open to fraud, why haven't
TfL scrapped savers entirely?

It surprises me that they haven't, though I did explain one reason why
they offer a feature that Oyster doesn't (the ability to buy a book
and split between people). Do Tube Carnets still exist? If so, it's
probably the same reason.
