The Spring issue of Tube magazine dropped through my door this morning,
with the following on page 39:

"If you use an Oyster Pre Pay, you'll get even more value for money
thanks to its new feature - capping. Due to start in March, customers
who make a number of Pre Pay trips ... blah"

Oystercard.com doesn't seem to mention it and the FAQ entry regarding
capping in the support section still says:

"We are looking at ‘capping’ the maximum amount you will pay in any one
day but have no firm details or a planned introduction date at present."


Capping was announced on BBC Local News this morning as starting at the end
of this month. Still no info on the TfL sites about it though.

Although I do notice that the TfL site has had a slight design
alteration, with a useful quick version of the journey planner on the
front page.

Incidentally, 27 February is the official start date for peak bus fares
(although obviously they won't start properly until the following day as
27 Feb is a Sunday). Introducing capping on the same day will ease the
pain of higher bus fares for some.

And apparently going to http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/ now gets you to
a useful page too--I remember it used to be a "doorway" page where you would
have to click somewhere and THEN enter your route information. Ugh.
