Any ideas why Zones 2-4 *daily* cap is £9.30, vs £6.50 zone 1-2 (50% more), whereas weekly zone 2-4 is £26.80 vs £32.40 (50% less?).
This doesnt make any sense at all to me. It seems to me the £9.30 is way more than it should be. You'd have to do ~6 journeys to hit the daily cap for zone2-4, vs Zone1-2 where going to work and back at peak hits the daily cap for zone1-2.
It gets even more silly for zone2-3 on paper - where you can get a weekly for the cost of 2 daily travelcards.
Any idea why this is? It seems that single journeys & weekly passes are very good value outside of zone1-x, but daily caps are very very poor value.
