abstract:The Travelcard is an inter-modal travel ticket for unlimited use on the London Underground, London Overground, Docklands Light Railway, Tramlink, London Buses and National Rail services in the Greater London area. Travelcards can be purchased for a period of time varying from one day to a year, from Transport for London, National Rail and their agents.
But the contactless payment system will not include daily price capping, which means if it is used several times in one day it will not stop charging once a passenger reaches the cost of daily travelcard.
It could mean you could be charged twice for your fare, for example if you have a weekly travelcard loaded on your Oyster card and when getting on the bus you are charged on your bankcard.
Next year we will see this on the Tube and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) but for now though it won't be included in the daily fare cap, which means passengers never spend more than the price of an equivalent Day Travelcard.
