Of note - the zones 1&2 and 1-4 Off-peak Day Travelcards are being
withdrawn, leaving just the zones 1-6 Off-peak Day Travelcard extant -
to promote switching to Oyster and use contactless payment cards
(possibly a bit premature as CPC payments are not yet live on rail modes).

The single bus fare on PAYG (& CPC) goes up to £1.45, though the daily
cap is frozen at £4.40. The cash bus fare stays at £2.40.

The TOCs have agreed to offer 16+ Oyster card holders half price travel
on NR services, to match what's offered on TfL rail services.

The blurb...

---quote---
This paper sets out Transport for London’s (TfL’s) fare change proposals
to be implemented from 2 January 2014. The proposals will freeze TfL
fares in real terms matching the annual increase in fares to the
increase in the Retail Price Index (RPI) in the benchmark month of July
2013. Fares under the control of the Mayor will go up by less than RPI.

Travelcard season prices increase by 4.1% reflecting the link with
National Rail fares and the latest guidance from the Secretary of State
for Transport that regulated NR fares should rise by 4.1% (RPI+1%) in
January 2014.

The one day bus cap and all the One Day multi-mode caps are all frozen
to provide a better deal for part-time workers and commuters.

On the Underground all single fares are frozen except for the Zone 1
fare and the off-peak Zones 1 to 2 fare, which increase by 10p. Overall
PAYG fares go up by 1.8%, just over half the inflation rate.

The bus PAYG single fare increases by 5p to 145p. Bus & Tram Pass
season price increases by 4.1% whereas the bus One Day Cap is frozen.

The One Day Travelcard range is simplified, with certain off-peak
tickets withdrawn. All the One Day caps are frozen to promote switching
to Oyster and Contactless Payment.

The Train Companies have agreed to offer holders of 16 plus Zip cards
half price PAYG from January 2014, aligning their fares with the
concession already available on TfL Rail services. The daily PAYG caps
for holders of 16 plus Zip cards are also reduced to half the adult
rate. Otherwise the scope of all fare concessions on TfL Rail services
is unchanged in 2014.

how does that work if they aren't capped at the ole rates

if the cheapest fare for "swanning" around Z1 all day is a Z1-6 travel card,
that's what people will buy

What about the others, like Z1-7, Z1-9+Watford Junction etc?

to promote switching to Oyster and use contactless payment cards

And the extra (on average) pound each time will no doubt come in handy.

Another way to look at this is that some people have got their wish, and
(for off-peak paper travelcards at least) London is now just one zone.

In reality, the Z5-6 aspect was previously free of charge,

The zones 1&2 and 1-4 Oyster PAYG daily caps aren't being abolished,
just the zones 1&2 and 1-4 paper Day Travelcards.
