    It is usually capped at the price of a one day travel card. If you start your first journey before 9.30 a.m., the cost is more than if you start after. How much depends on how many zones you pass through. I live in zone 3 and when on PAYG, I allow £6 per day for travel (although there is usually a little left at the end of the day).

    Are you sure you really want an Oyster card at all. Using one allows LT to track where you travel and LT has no problem passing on details of your movements to others.

    If you pay for it with a credit card then that gives them your identity as well. This is Big Brother at it’s worst.

    If you have to travel in London then I say get the bus and pay cash.

    Agree with the above post on Big Brother Britain, but the cash fare on the bus is 2 quid, Oyster fare is only a quid (actually I think it’s gone down to 90p) – so double price….nah.

    The point where the Oyster “maxes out” depends on the zones you are travelling in. I do zones 1 through 6 so for me it’s 14.80 — the price of a day travel card. It used to be that it would max out at 50pence LESS than the cost of a day travel card but I think that’s changed now, but not 100% positive.

    This webpage lists the day travelcard costs per zone. Using Oyster you’ll never pay MORE than that in one day, and like I said, it might still be less, you’ll have to read up to see.
