Weekly cap is interesting although it is a pity that it's not a rolling 7 days as a Travelcard could be.

I'd be interested in the trial but the fact that it won't count buses towards the cap since I also take a bus often to get to the Tube.

Ryan - do you know if there's any scope now that more people are using Oyster or contactless card for them to implement a solution that would allow people using a bus to connect to a Tube line to only pay for a single fare rather than being charged for both journeys. It feels unfair that you can jump on the DLR/Tube/train and then interchange as much as you like for a single fare but do that on a bus and you're stung for each trip. Even if the system had to process to take account of the dearest fare within that hour, it would feel a fairer way of fares
