A peak (weekday before 9:30am) adult paper Travelcard costs about £15.30. An off-peak version? That’s roughly £9.60. Yes, you save a solid fiver just by snoozing your alarm. Your bed thanks you.
But wait! If you tap a contactless card or your phone, it’s magically capped. The daily cap for Zones 1-6 contactless travel is about £14.90 per day. That’s cheaper than the peak paper ticket and feels like cheating at the system.
