photocard for weekly travelcards for only zones 1 and/or 2 required again
From May this year weekly travelcards covering only zones only 1 and 2
or just 1 or 2 were exempt from requiring a photocard. But this exemption was dropped this month. Why? Why was this exemption introduced in the first place? Is anything to do with congestion charging or to encourage more people to use public transport? |

Nothing to do with Congestion Charging. I believe its an experiment by London Underground (following on from the experiment in the Stamford Brook/Turnham Green area on the District). Rob. What experiment is that ? |

What experiment is that ? Trial of 7 Day Travelcards not needing a photocard... Rob. Why did they do the trial in the first place ? What was the whole objective? Is it to test commuters don't share their travelcard ? Is it someone to do with the smartcard ? |

If you want to encourage to move from paying for single journeys then logically the next ticket up in the TfL range is the 7 Day Travelcard/Bus Pass. Passenger trades up - less queueing to buy single = benefit. More likely to do this with no photocard. No photocard = possible multiple use of card = disbenefit.

Is that why they brought back the photocard for weekly travelcards for zones 1 and/or 2 ? Rob. |
