So if u take a bus ride before 9.30am and then start using the tube/train off peak, y r u charged a peak fare for the rest of the day until u reach the cap??

I asked @ a station why i was in a minus and was told the bus journeys were made b4 9.30am so im peak for the rest of the day... but theres no off peak bus fare... just 1.30 a journey?!

Is this a new rule of TFL's rip off 2011 fares?

    This unofficial oyster website has lots of info.

    In particular, this page explains how the peak and offpeak caps work.

    Probably best that you read it rather than me trying to explain it. (because it's complicated)

    that just proves what i thought... u pay each fare until 9.30 and then switch to off peak pricing. but tube office told me its peak for the whole day even if u only take 1 bus b4 9.30 as 'thats how it works'.
