Oyster daily caps

[mister_D]

Hi all

I have been investigating the best ways to get around but came upon a doubt.

The oyster cap for bus is £3.90. The cap for tube travel on Sunday is I believe £6.30.

What about if I travel in both? Is the cap £6.30 or £6.30 + £3.90 = £10.20?

Thanks in advance!

The tube cap depends on the zones you travel through. See http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/14416.aspx . For example, Zones 1-2 is £5.60 and Zones 1-4 is £6.30 (off-peak, which is all day at weekends). I'm sure these caps include bus travel, though I can't see that explicitly stated. It wouldn't make any sense otherwise because the Tube cap is the same as the Day Travelcard price for those zones! So if you're using buses in any zone and Tube in Z1-4 then the cap will be £6.30.

Yes,they do include bus travel. If I get a bus from Wallington to Croydon and get the train to,say,Victoria or London Bridge,and then make a return journey later in the day it caps at £7.50 (zones 1-5). If I get the bus and only go to Clapham Junction or go directly from Croydon to Shepherds Bush it caps at £5.10 (zones 2-5) because I haven't gone into zone 1.

The oyster cap for bus is £3.90.

£3.90 is the daily cap for all travel on buses and/or trams.

The cap for tube travel on Sunday is I believe £6.30.

£6.30 is the cap for off-peak travel by train, tube, Docklands Light Railway, bus and/or tram in zones 1-4. Other off-peak daily caps are:
Zones 1-2: £5.60
Zones 1-6: £7.50
Zones 2-6: £5.10

Sunday is off-peak all day.

What about if I travel in both? Is the cap £6.30 or £6.30 + £3.90 = £10.20?

If you travel in rail and tube zones 1-4 and by any DLR, tram or bus, then the cap will be £6.30.
