And per week. And it works for contactless (tap) payment cards (PayWave/PayPass/etc.) and phones (Apple Pay, Barclay bPay, Android Pay, ...) as well as for Oyster cards.

Fare capping is definitely something that would enable fearless use of the public transit system and may, all in all, result in higher revenue.

And also encourage use of fare cards.
