Capping limits how much you pay for all your journeys. When your contactless journeys into and within London add up to a certain amount in a day or week (Monday to Sunday), you won’t be charged anymore.
A pay as you go with contactless daily cap is calculated over 24 hours, starting at 04:30 and ending at 04:29 the next day.
If you use the same contactless card or device to pay for all your journeys throughout the week, you will also be eligible for a Monday to Sunday cap. For maximum benefit, start using your contactless card or device on a Monday.
Your pay as you go with contactless fare is capped at either a peak rate (same price as the Anytime Day Travelcard), off-peak rate (same price as Off-Peak Day Travelcard) or a Monday to Sunday rate (same price as the 7 Day Travelcard). Remember to continue to touch in and out for every journey you make.
Depending on how often you travel and where you’re travelling to, it may be better value to buy a Season ticket (weekly, monthly, annual or Flexi Season).
Please note, capping is not available for pay as you go with contactless journeys that avoid London altogether.
